I had found this book while I was looking for another book when I was at the library a couple of weeks ago. I have not heard anything about this book from anyone but the cover and the description both had me interested in reading it.
Book: The Whitby Witches (The Whitby Witches book #1) by Robin Jarvis
Source: Library
Description:
Since the deaths of their parents, eight-year-old Ben and his older sister, Jennet, have been asked to leave one foster home after another. Now, kindly Alice Boston, an old family friend, has invited them to live with her in the picturesque seaside town of Whitby. The two children hope their move to Whitby will be permanent -- if this time they can keep Ben's strange powers secret.
Unbeknownst to the children, Aunt Alice has a few secrets of her own. So does Whitby. Shortly after Ben and Jennet arrive in Whitby, it becomes clear that an evil force from the town's past is on the rise again. Suddenly, Alice's friends are mysteriously dying. A young woman dressed in white haunts Whitby's crumbling abbey. And a centuries-old beast disturbs Jennet's dreams.
As the evil spreads, Ben steals away on furtive errands that take him to the town graveyard and the dark caves along Whitby's rocky shore. What he finds there might save Whitby from the most powerful evil the town has ever known.
