"I’m trying to remember a book I read about a girl who was on a school bus at the beginning of the story. While riding the bus, she saw something strange outside the window, possibly a person or something in the woods, and she became fascinated by it. The story involved an abandoned house hidden in the woods that she eventually went to with her friends. At some point, she discovered she had magical powers or became involved with magic. I remember a scene where she was alone in a room with a man who talked to her about magic and explained things about her powers, but I don’t remember where the man came from or who he was. I originally thought there might have been a witch or a magical frog involved, but I’m not sure anymore."
