The Witch's Boy

Meer over het boek

<i>His yellow eyes looked hungrily into her grey ones. She felt a magic older than even her own flicker between them, and it startled her...</i> Lump, the ugliest boy in the world, is abandoned in the forest, where a witch takes him in. With a bear for a nanny, a genie as a servant and only a cat to talk to, the household is a strange one, but Lump grows up knowing nothing but love. Until one day he has to face the world--and meets rejection at every turn. This is a story of Lump's difficult journey to adulthood, his craving for the magical powers of his mother and his search for acceptance, set in a world full of natural magic in delicate balance, where the slightest disturbance can be catastrophic.
