Falling In. Isabelle has always felt out of place and never really made any friends at her elementary school. Then, one day, after being sent to the principal's office, she opens a closet in the school nurses' office and falls into another world. Suddenly she is surrounded by children who are afraid of a witch in a primitive world without electricity, cell phones and the like. She befriends a young girl named Hen and together they meet up with an older woman healer, Greta. There she discovers many things about herself, the witch, and her place in the universe, while helping treat an epidemic and save Greta's life after a horrible mix up.
