Half-Witch by John Schoffstall
5.0
I'd never heard of this book or of John Schoffstall, but happened upon it at my local library. This is why the library is an authors best friend, and a readers too! I would maybe never have heard of this book if not for the library.
ANYWAY. Half-Witch is delightfully quirky, darker than it seems, sometimes gruesome, sometimes touching, sometimes funny, ALWAYS irreverent and unexpected. While it is nothing at all like The Princess Bride, I think people who enjoyed that book will enjoy this one. Ditto John Barnes' One for the Morning Glory: this isn't LIKE that, but it scratches a similar itch. LOVE.
