Bee is an orphan who lives with a carnival and sleeps in the back of a
tractor trailer. Every day she endures taunts for the birthmark on her
face--though her beloved Pauline, the only person who has ever cared for
her, tells her it is a precious diamond. When Pauline is sent to work
for another carnival, Bee is lost. Then a scruffy dog shows up, as
unwanted as she, and Bee realizes that she must find a home for them
both. She runs off to a house with gingerbread trim that reminds her of
frosting. There two mysterious women, Mrs. Swift and Mrs. Potter, take
her in. They clothe her, though their clothes are strangely out of date.
They feed her, though there is nothing in their house to eat. They help
her go to school, though they won't enter the building themselves. And,
strangely, only Bee seems able to see them. Whoever these women are,
they matter. They matter to Bee. And they are helping Bee realize that
she, too, matters to the world--if only she will let herself be a part
of it. For a chance to win a preview copy of this book, tell me about a magical moment from your life. The more details the better!

One year for Christmas I got a camera. On the camera my parents had managed to plant a really good picture of "Santa". It appeared as if he had taken the picture himself and was in his sleigh. There was golden trim, and a flashlight in the background. I don't know how they got that picture on there but it was one of the most magical christmases ever!
A magical moment in my life was when I saw a beautiful glaicer on a Disney cruise. I went on the cruise last August and our first stop was passing by a glaicer. It was so amazing and took my breath away. There was pieces of ice by the huge glacier with seals on them. When we passed by we heard a sound that sounded like thunder and was ice rolling down the glacier.
Those are both awesome moments! Thank you for sharing :D
