The Witch’s Boy

The village’s interpretation of the tragedy that casts Ned as the surviving twin seems to determine his fate, i.e., that ‘the wrong boy lived.’ When Aine’s bandit king father’s greed threatens his family and intrudes upon Ned’s small community, Ned is forced to confront his fears, reputation, truth – and the bandit king’s daughter.

This wonderful book is spine-tingling, commanding, fast paced, and a step beyond most other books for confident, capable readers. I love it! Kelly Barnhill is a superbly capable and inspired writer.
