(2) YA Lexi sees a stranger who is there "and yet, he is not all there." He's a witch, she discovers, and she names him Cole. When the village children start disappearing, people think Cole is a criminal. Schwab's story has fairy-tale qualities, with its rural village, moorside setting, and folkloric witch. Her descriptive powers are strong, and the story has a vivid visual component.
