وصف الناشر
From the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato comes a poignant and “beguiling” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) novel about two teens trying to find their place in the world after being unceremoniously dragged to Salem, Massachusetts, for the summer.
Willow has never felt like she belonged anywhere and is convinced that the only way to find a true home is to travel the world. But her plans to act on her dream are put on hold when her aloof and often absent mother drags Willow to Salem, Massachusetts, to wrap up the affairs of an aunt Willow didn’t even know she had. An aunt who may or may not have been a witch.
There, she meets Mason, a loner who’s always felt out of place and has been in and out of foster homes his entire life. He’s been classified as one of the runaways, constantly searching for ways to make it back to his mom; even if she can’t take care of him, it’s his job to try and take care of her. Isn’t it?
Naturally pulled to one another, Willow and Mason set out across Salem to discover the secret past of Willow’s mother, her aunt, and the ambiguous history of her family. During all of this, the two can’t help but act on their connection. But with the amount of baggage between them—and Willow’s growing conviction her family might be cursed—can they manage to hold onto each other?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Centering family and brimming with atmosphere, Welch (the Love & series) crafts a beguiling romance set in Salem, Mass. Rising high school seniors Willow Haverford and Mason Greer did not plan on traveling to Salem. Los Angeleno Willow, who has never felt at home anywhere and grapples with extreme wanderlust, accompanies her mother to the witchy haven to help settle the estate of an aunt Willow never knew existed. Willow is stunned to learn that she has several family members living in Salem—all of whom identify as witches—whom her mother has kept secret from her. Meanwhile, Bostonian Mason is moving in with his mother's old friend after years of bouncing between foster homes. He hesitates to get comfortable; all he wants is to find his estranged mother, who struggles with a drug addiction. When the teens meet, Willow recruits Mason's help in following the clues her aunt left about an ancient curse plaguing her family. Welch utilizes an extraordinary sense of place, a lightly magical story line, and the healing power of love—both familial and romantic—to great effect. Main characters read as white. Ages 12–up.
