This book is so good! It all started when two boys were playing in a stream and one of them drowns. The people of the village are conviced that the wrong boy lived.(No, not by the opposite boy, the boy who is clumsy and studders. Then two kingdoms try to battle each other to say that they are better. But Ned, the wrong boy, and Aine, the daughter of the Bandit King meet and go on the adventure of a lifetime to stop war from boiling over.
It is sad in the beginning, I'm only on page 30 but it is good so far
The wrong boy died. That is the premise of this beautiful story of a boy who tries to defend his family's magic, the girl who tries to help him, and the man who is ruthlessly hunting him. Perfect for fans of Jinx or Peter Nimble.
I LOVED this book. Its so nice that the boy protected his mother when you would think the mother protects him. Its a really good book.
In the end, the wrong boy survived, Ned. Everyone's certain about this until.............. When the Bandit King comes over, trouble comes with him. He begins by trying to steal Ned's mom's magic and a war is waged...... Read to find out what happens next.
Sounds cool
I did not really like this book. The plot was a bit scattered and it was a little confusing. I don't recommend this book unless you have nothing else to do.
The Witches boy was not one of my favorite books. I didn't really get the story. The characters were very strange. I don't think I would recommend this book.
i think it should be a good book!!!!
I so want to read this book! I hope I get to read this book soon.
