The Witch Boy

Molly Knox Ostertag, illustrated by Molly Knox Ostertag

In Aster’s family, girls are trained as witches and boys become shapeshifters; anyone who crosses those boundaries is exiled. Thirteen-year-old Aster has not shifted and remains drawn to the witchcraft forbidden to boys. When an unexplained danger threatens the other boys, he believes magic could help. Charlie, a new friend who is nonmagical and nonconforming, encourages Aster to practice his abilities.
