Half Bad

(2) YA The novel begins with Nathan--son of a "good" White Witch mother and an "evil" Black Witch father--a prisoner in a cage. Flashbacks reveal his early life with his grandmother and half-siblings among White Witches who ostracize him. Green's characterization and plotting keep readers invested in Nathan's journey as he grows up, figuring out whom he can trust and how he'll survive.
