Half Bad

Lexile:  680
Genre:  Fantasy

Nathan is a half-code:  half White Witch, half Black Witch.  This means he is an embarrassment to his family and a puzzlement to the Council who is not sure what should be done with him.  As his seventeenth birthday approaches, they must decide who should give him his three gifts and they must decide on his classification.  His guardian, Celia, is training him for something, but it is unclear to him just what that something will be.  Nathan must discover for himself whether he is half-bad or half-good.
