THE NEAR WITCH By: Victoria SchwabStories of the Near Witch have been told in the village of Near for centuries. Lexi has heard these stories all her life and they haven't been much more than fiction until one day when a stranger - a boy who appears and disappears like smoke - appears out on the moor one night. When children start disappearing from Near and the mysterious boy becomes the main (and only) suspect, Lexi begins to believe that the stranger may be innocent. And as the hunt for the stranger and the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to uncover the truth behind the story of the Near Witch and to learn the story of the nameless boy who has become so much more that a stranger to Lexi.
