The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab
Expected publication date: August 2nd, 2011
Synopsis
The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children.
If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company.
And there are no strangers in the town of Near.
These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life.
But 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.
The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. Still, he insists on helping Lexi search for them. Something tells her she can trust him.
As 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.

YES!! It's out TODAY! I've heard so many great things about this book that it's impossible for me not to be excited for its release. The story sounds really good and I haven't read many witch stories, so that's a plus too!! AND the cover is stunning. I love the artwork!
I've just started this and I'm loving it so far!!
