I Want to Read It (24): Foxheart

I Want to Read It, a hybrid between WLW (or WOW) and what's on my to-be read pile. Well, instead of focusing just on books I would like to acquire, I will be using it to feature books that I just want to read. From the one's I want to buy to the one's sitting on my TBR at home.

Foxheart by Claire Legrand, October 4, 2016. Published by Greenwillow Books: Source: wishlist.

Orphan. Thief. Witch.
Twelve-year-old Quicksilver dreams of becoming the greatest thief in the Star Lands. With her faithful dog and partner-in-crime Fox, she’s well on her way—even if that constantly lands them both in trouble. It’s a lonesome life, sleeping on rooftops and stealing food for dinner, but Quicksilver doesn’t mind. When you’re alone, no one can hurt you. Or abandon you.
But the seemingly peaceful Star Lands are full of danger. Witches still exist—although the powerful Wolf King and his seven wolves have been hunting them for years. Thankfully, his bloody work is almost complete. Soon the Star Lands will be safe, free of the witches and their dark magic.

Why: Other than the fact that Foxheart sounds like something I would read, in a heartbeat, that it is written by Claire Legrand is enough of a reason for me to add it to my "need now" list of books. I just love her writing, most particularly her middle grade books, and cannot wait to see what she's cooked up in her upcoming release.
