Celeste Oakley is running out of family. Seriously, her mom's dad's sister's daughter? They're barely even related. If her grandmother and her uncle and a bunch of other relatives didn't want to adopt her, there's no way her first cousin once removed is going to do it. Roberta Kaplan is definitely some hunchbacked old lady who doesn't even know what trans means, and she's going to take one look at Celeste and send her into foster care again. She knows the drill. Except that Roberta--Bert--is actually a bisexual twenty-something who lives in a creepy old house with actual chickens in the backyard. There are woods all around for Celeste to explore and a girl named Nari down the street who actually wants to be friends. There's even a cat who follows her home and moves in. Throw in a haunted house, a boy who talks to animals, Bert's dryad ex-girlfriend and the fact that Bert and Celeste are witches? This is definitely nothing like anywhere else Celeste has lived. And the weirder things get, the more Celeste thinks that maybe weird is exactly where she belongs.
