The spirit is willing...

Strange but true: I can move things with my mind. Even stranger, but just as true: Lately, I've been looking in the mirror and seeing a face I don't recognize. I've been knocking down trees and throwing boulders without touching them. And I've done some seriously heinous something to my girlfriend in this kind of ... I don't know ... freak out. I don't know what it was. I don't know if she's dead or alive.

You think I'm scared that I'm melted in the head? You don't know the half of it. Melted in the bead would be a blessing, compared to this. I'm not afraid of being crazy. I'm afraid of being whatever I am.

What am I?

About the Author:

Russell Moon's deep interest in Celtish magic and mythology compelled him to write Witch Boy, his first fantasy novel.

From Booklist:

Gr. 11-12. This original paperback, the first volume in a new trilogy, is creepy, gory, sexy, and explicit. Since turning 17, Marcus has discovered that things have gotten weird: he can knock down trees and throw large rocks without even touching them. Something of a loner, Marcus spends most of his time in the woods with his faithful dog, Chuck. However, he does have Jules. They have never made love, but she's all for it. Marcus hesitates, but on the eve of his moving away, he agrees. All goes as planned until the actual act, when something unthinkable happens--but what? Marcus is left wondering whether he is "the perpetrator of absolute evil, or the victim of it." Things don't get any better in the new town, where he freaks out over what may have happened and is stunned to be asked to join a coven and learn that Chuck is his familiar. Chris Lynch is named on the copyright page of this page-turner, but the book isn't for Lynch's younger fans. The audience is older YAs, even though the book title and cover art scream, "middle readers." Sally Estes
