The Mythfits
 
 
Just how does the new girl in Hamilton, California fit in when her best friends are misfits? That’s the problem The Mythfits heroine Norma Leiber faces when she stumbles into the clubhouse of the most unpopular children at Bullfinch School, only to discover they’ve been touched by magic. In their true forms, they’re mythological beings that hide their real identities behind magical charms fashioned by their mysterious teacher, Ms. Link. While Norma tries to meet the normal challenges of being the new girl at school, she is drawn into the world of these magical kids who call themselves The Mythfits. Norma learns that her friends are only a part of the weirdness in her new hometown. She soon finds herself in the middle of a supernatural conflict that will change the lives of everyone around her. The Mythfits provides a clear message that, with communication as the key, children and adults can solve problems by working together. This means more than just opening one's mouth, but opening one’s mind and heart as well. Many stories do an excellent job of portraying the difficulties of childhood, but tend to focus on alienation and adversarial relationships with grownups. The Mythfits demonstrates that there can be love and trust between an adult and child even in bizarre circumstances.
