Half Lies

A Half Bad story

Summary

A brand new short story from Sally Green, author of the phenomenal debut novel, Half Bad.


Meet Michele and Gabriel: young Black Witches in a brave new world.

Their mother was brutally murdered. Their father drowns his pain at the bottom of a bottle.

They begin a new life in Florida, where Michele meets a White Witch boy, but the divide between Black and White Witches is as dangerous as ever. Soon Michele is caught between love and loyalty, truth and lies.

Could falling in love be the deadliest mistake she's ever made?

Reviews

  • A book about witches with no owls and not a pair of round spectacles in sight. The new Hunger Games,I suspect... Brilliant and utterly compelling - I loved it.
    Kate Atkinson, author of Life after Life and Behind the Scenes of the Museum
