Reading Notes: Another Vanishing Wife (Congo, Part A)

Another Vanishing Wife - Wow, there are so many different elements in this story to base another on. It's so unfortunate that one of the boys was mistreated so horribly by his mother! Since there is magic in this story, I would slowly make the mother ugly with every rude thing she said or did. Then we'll see her fate. Will the boys still talk to her? What about the village? How will she feel about herself?
