Description:
'Half Bad' by Sally Green is a debut novel about one boy's struggle for survival in a hidden society of witches. You can't read, can't write, but you heal fast, even for a witch. You get sick if you stay indoors after dark. You hate white witches but love Annalise, who is one. You've been kept in a cage since you were 14. All you've got to do is escape and find Mercury, the black witch who eats boys. And do that before your 17th birthday. Easy!

Reviews
This book is one of the titles chosen for Children's Book Day at work, so it was 'required reading' rather than something I chose for myself for pleasure. Yet that is precisely why I love taking part in Children's Book Day. It gives me the opportunity to read books I may not otherwise have given a second look to. {Sorry, I ended that sentence with a preposition!} Sometimes, it feels like a chore, but there are always some titles I'm really glad I read. This is one of the latter. There were some issues that took me a while to get into, such as the change in style from 'you' to 'I', but I soon found myself caught up in Nathan's world and his problems. I will definitely be reading the sequel.
