Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Dans la culture du jeune Aster, treize ans, toutes les filles sont élevées pour devenir des sorcières et les garçons, des métamorphes. Toute personne qui ose contrevenir à cette tradition est exclue. Malheureusement pour Aster, il demeure incapable de se métamorphoser... et il est toujours aussi fasciné par la sorcellerie, bien qu'elle lui soit formellement interdite.

Lorsqu'un danger mystérieux menace les autres garçons, Aster sait qu'il peut aider... avec la sorcellerie. Avec les encouragements d'une nouvelle amie excentrique, Charlie, Aster se laisse enfin convaincre d'exercer ses talents de sorcière. Mais il aura besoin d'encore plus de courage pour sauver sa famille... et en réalité, se sauver lui-même.

In thirteen-year-old Aster's family, all the girls are raised to be witches, while boys grow up to be shapeshifters. Anyone who dares cross those lines is exiled. Unfortunately for Aster, he still hasn't shifted... and he's still fascinated by witchery, no matter how forbidden it might be.

When a mysterious danger threatens the other boys, Aster knows he can help -- as a witch. It will take the encouragement of a new friend, the non-magical and non-conforming Charlie, to convince Aster to try practicing his skills. And it will require even more courage to save his family... and be truly himself.
