Witchy (Wo)men: Modern Fantastical Witch Stories

Witch stories have been around for ages, but you’ve never heard them told like this before. In Newbery Award-winning author Kelly Barnhill’s The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Xan the witch is feared, but nobody knows she is secretly a compassionate protector, in Molly Ostertag’s The Witch Boy, Aster must find the courage to be truly himself and practice witchcraft even when it’s forbidden for boys, and in Kiersten White’s Beanstalker and Other Hilarious Scarytales, witch stories and other fairy tales take a turn for the unexpected.
