The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna, November 20.

Nowhere House is an idyllic orphanage in the English countryside is in need of a teacher, but not just any teacher will do. These children have been slowly discovering and exploring some
unusual skills, and their very mundane minders aren’t up to the task.

But Mika Moon fits the bill: she’s an honest to goodness witch, and since she was also orphaned – as all witches are, she’s been told – she has a lot of empathy for these kids and even more to teach them. Mika’s endured a lonely life, made all the more so due to the Rules that forbid witches from seeing each other outside of official monthly meetings. The Rules kind
of make sense to avoid being discovered, but Mika’s always thought they were a bit too extreme. Teaching emerging and unregistered witches at Nowhere House is definitely against
the Rules, but it’s a great opportunity that Mika can’t turn down. She gets more than she bargained for in the eccentric and loving coworkers who have done their best for the kids, including a very handsome librarian (who hates her, but whatever). Just when Mika starts to feel at home, the magical and mundane outside worlds threaten Nowhere House, and Mika will have
to make a choice about what’s really important and where she wants to belong.
