Bess Stovall is famous for being famous. " When it comes to Wemmicks, she's the best, " they say. Who wouldn't want to join her Wonderful Wemmicks Club? The catch is this: only Wemmicks made of maple can join - the best wood from the best forest. But Punchinello can't join since he is made of willow. " Willow is weak wood, " says Bess. " No one wants to be a willow." And Punchinello is the only willow in Wemmicksville. Everyone looks down on him, even his friend Lucia. Punchinello learns a valuable lesson when Eli the woodcarver helps him see that he is special because the Maker made him - the Maker even chose his wood. This latest tale from Wemmicksville will surprise you as Punchinello himself shocks the town with how special he really is.
