description: Can magic and science live happily ever after? When a local grocer zaps a shoplifter into a frog, Sarah and Ben know that something's afoot. After all, nothing they've learned in science class explains how this lady can turn troublemakers into toads. It's not surprising, then, that their teacher, Mr. Wyanth, doesn't believe a word of it. Undaunted, Sarah sets out, with Ben reluctantly in tow, to make a science project out of this mysterious magic-caster known as Anastasia Morningstar. But Mr. Wyanth doesn't like what they're up to, and his quest for reason threatens Anastasia and the magical butterfly she secretly harbors. Soon Sarah and Ben are swept up in a rescue operation prophesized in a half-forgotten poem. In the end, it takes both imagination and a little scientific know-how to save the enchanted butterfly -- and Anastasia's very soul -- from extinction. Originally published in an earlier version as Anastasia Morningstar and the Crystal Butterfly , Sarah and the Magic Science Project has been rewritten by the original author and features all-new illustrations. An enchanting tale for adventurous readers.
