Description

The Greggs are hunters who will shoot anything in the woods for fun. The little girl who lives next door can't stand hunting – and one day, she gets so mad that she puts the "magic finger" on them. The next morning, the Greggs wake up birdsized, complete with wings ... and that's just the beginning of their problems.
