Boys grow up to be shapeshifters and girls grow up to be witches. No exceptions. However, Aster has shown no signs towards shapeshifting and he really wants to be a witch, even though it is forbidden for him. When a mysterious danger threatens the other boys in his family, he knows he can help, but only with the skills of a witch, which he has been practicing in secret. With the help of his new friend, Charlie, he gains the courage to use his skills to save his family and show them who he truly is. (Garden State Children's Book Awards nominee, 2020)
