Synopsis ~
For unhappy Monnie Fitts and timid Bim Ross - two
foster children who live with the Johnsons - finding an old, faded purple
mailbox in a vacant lot was to be their secret. The seven mysterious stars
painted on the door made it even more important - and strange. Once they wrote
their names on it, life would be different for them. Each day, as Monnie and
Bim visit the mailbox, unusual gifts and note appear - a broom, a wand, a light
- even a voo-don’t doll; in all, six magical wonders that plunge them deep into
a week of unexplained happenings. Not until the seventh suspenseful day do they
know where the powerful spells will lead them. Frightened, but brave, the two
children enter a supernatural world to find answers only they can understand.
