A stunning, magical debut. An international sensation.
In modern-day England, witches live alongside humans: White witches, who are good; Black witches, who are evil; and fifteen-year-old Nathan, who is both. Nathan’s father is the world’s most powerful and cruel Black witch, and his mother is dead. He is hunted from all sides. Trapped in a cage, beaten and handcuffed, Nathan must escape before his sixteenth birthday, at which point he will receive three gifts from his father and come into his own as a witch—or else he will die. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is tracked, when there is no one safe to trust—not even family, not even the girl he loves?
In the tradition of Patrick Ness and Markus Zusak, Half Bad is a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive, a story that will grab hold of you and not let go until the very last page.
Ooh, I hadn't heard of this book until now. It sounds like it's going to be amazing! I'm definitely intrigued and I want to find out what happens to Nathan! This is definitely being added to my TBR list.
The cover is amazing!
Great pick 🙂

Comparing it to Markus Zusak says enough. The book thief is one of my favorite books <3 and I like witches, so give it to me!

I don't know what to say. I thought that whole Black witch thing was a thing of the past. HUMM!? Interesting.
Half Bad sounds great. Nice pick – I've added it to my TBR.
