Schwab. n nThe Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. n nIf the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. n nThere are no strangers in the town of Near. n nThese are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. n nBut when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. n nThe next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. n nAs the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy. n nPart fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab's debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won't soon forget.n
