I really liked this book.  Gabe is the new kid in town, suffers from a type of epilepsy, is a loner artist who due to all of these reasons gets bullied at school and by his brother.  He meets a tough, young girl who lives next door, goes to his school who believes in the witch in the woods.  She is interested in Gabe's art and the connection she senses he has with the witch in the woods.  Without going into more story detail I will say that the character buildup is great, the story line is unique and any kid who deals with health issues, loner issues, 'unique' issues, bullying can relate.  On a personal note, the fact that his health issues and how they effect him and his family are tied into the fantasy aspect of this tale is great.  I have a brother who has epilepsy and I will be lending him my eReader so he can read this book.  I look forward to reading book two!  Great for any young adult who enjoys urban fantasy.Received this book from librarything.com Member giveaway.
