When she was a child, Miranda Silver developed pica, a rare eating disorder that causes its victims to eat nonedible substances, such as chalk or plastic. When Miranda is sixteen, her mother dies, and it only exacerbates her condition. As her family's home in Dover, England, is converted into a B&B, Miranda becomes plagued by nightmares from what seem like the house itself — and the spirits who inhabit it. White is For Witching ($15) weaves in themes of bodily desire and the politics of family and nation into an unforgettable mystery.
