Dagmar makes a deal with Edgar, New Berlin, Iowa's only warlock; he'll use his powers to make James Mann fall in love with her if Dagmar can convince Aunt Gretchen to go out on a date with Edgar.
Vegetarian Bear, who likes to surprise and entertain both himself and others, this time digs a hole where geese are to gather for fellowship and good feeling--and to hum.
Boy-crazy thirteen-year-old Dagmar finally locates potential romance in her quiet Iowa community, only to find herself the special project of a guardian angel with very old-fashioned morals.
