Magic things happen at the Van Gogh Cafe in Flowers, Kansas, and no one quite knows why. Clara is one reason for the magic. She's ten and believes anything can happen. She and her father own the cafe, so they know all about its mysteries. Each day they turn up their phonograph, fill coffee cups for the sleepy morning people--and wait for the magic to begin. It always does.
