Sylvie and her mother and grandmother are beloved, trusted healers in their medieval French village, though some whisper that fifteen-year-old Sylvie and her grand-mere deal in more than herbs and medicines. Perhaps they're a bit . . . witchy? After her grandmother dies, and an attempt to use magic to heal her mother's grief brooks tragic consequences, Sylvie leaves her village in search of a teacher. The journey subjects her to strange alliances, powerful temptations, danger, and deceit. In the end, there may be only one wise woman Sylvie can trust in a world that would define her limits: herself. Beautifully crafted, this quietly powerful work for younger readers assures a whole new audience for an established author.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNancy Werlin \u003c\/b\u003e(she\/her) is the author of eleven books for teens, including \u003ci\u003eZoe Rosenthal Is Not Lawful Good\u003c\/i\u003e, the National Book Award Finalist \u003ci\u003eThe Rules of Survival\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ethe Edgar Award winner \u003ci\u003eThe Killer's Cousin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller \u003ci\u003eImpossible. \u003c\/i\u003eNancy Werlin lives outside Boston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 8.82 x 7.95 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42155033886855,"sku":"9781536232998","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/73632cec0b07c586f3f6de740ec7a027.webp?v=1733232813","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/healer-and-witch-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
