The Wizard Without a Wand, Book 9: The Final Brushstrokes

By: Dale Stubbart

Narrated by: Kayla Ruffin

Appli Kay Wisper thought that things at Wizard School would be different. Why had she thought that? Well it was Wizard School. And well, Wizards were different. And maybe things were different here. But for her, things were the same. People still walked through Appli as if she wasn’t there. Of course she was there, she was Solid as …. She was going to say, Solid as a brick. But she thought of bricks as being rather plain. And she certainly was anything but plain. Well, she couldn’t think for the moment of something which was solid, but which was not plain. So Appli got out her Paintbrush and painted a scene, hoping it would have something solid in it.
