Fleeing from the orphanage where she lives, Grace makes a deal with the witch in the nearby woods -- if Grace can learn all the witch's spells, she must make Grace her apprentice -- an agreement that leads to an unexpected bond, and an unimaginable sacrifice. - HARPERCOLL
An inventive and fantastical reimagining of Anne of Green Gablesâwith magic and witches!âthat explores found family, loss, and the power of a girl's imagination, from the acclaimed author of The Language of Ghosts and The School Between Winter and Fairyland. Perfect for readers who loved The Girl Who Drank the Moon and Serafina and the Black Cloak.
"A magical, witchy, and thoroughly successful homage to a classic." âKirkus Reviews (starred review)
Grace has never been good at anything except magicânot that anyone believes her.
While other children are adopted from the orphanage, nobody wants Grace. So she decides to make a home for herself by running away and offering herself as an apprentice to the witch in the nearby woods. After all, who better to teach Grace to use her magic? Surely the witch canât be that bad.
But the witch is that badâshe steals souls for spells and gobbles up hearts. So Grace offers a deal: If she can learn all 100½ spells in the witchâs grimoire, the witch will make Grace her apprentice. But if Grace fails, the witch can take her magic. The witch agrees, and soon an unexpected bond develops between them.
But the spells are much harder than Grace expected, and when a monster from the witchâs past threatens the home Grace has built, she may have to sacrifice more than her magic to save it.
