Creator/ChristopherPike's ''Witch'' tells the tale of Julia Florence, a teenager from Idaho whose mother died recently, and her friends Scott, Amy, and Jim. As the title suggests, Julia's not normal--she can heal people with her touch and see what's happening elsewhere when she looks into sunlight-brightened water.
Julia's mother Elizabeth, perhaps better known as "Mother Florence", was one of the kindest people she ever knew. But now she's dead, and Julia's life is breaking apart at the seams. She does what she's expressly been forbidden never to do--she looks into water with moonlight shining on it. What meets her eyes is horrible: Someone is dying in a hold-up. And that someone, as it turns out, is Amy's new boyfriend.
Life is going to be one wild ride for Julia Florence, Scott Hague, Amy Belle, and Jim Kovic... one they may not survive.

!!This book provides examples of:
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Frank gets what's coming to him and Scott survives, but Julia and Jim are dead]].
* BringMyRedJacket: Julia has a vision of [[spoiler:Jim dying in a gas station, and his red jacket is very prominant in the vision. Unable to deter him from going into the gas station, Julia makes him change into a white jacket. How that will help is questionable, but hey, it's a Pike book. Anyway, Jim is shot, and his bleding turns the white jacket red, fulfilling both points of the vision.]] Doesn't fate suck?
* ChivalrousPervert: Randy.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Julia's aunt is presented as a very cold and stern woman, very unlike Julia's mother. By the end of the novel, she's softened considerably.
* HealingHands: Julia and Mother Florence.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Julia]].
* JerkJock: Randy Classick is described as being the "prototype jerk jock", though he's actually not so bad.
* JobTitle: Well, it's a role of some sort.
* {{Masquerade}}: People are aware of Mother Florence's talent with caring for people, but they don't know she and Julia are witches.
* MissingMom: she died + DisappearedDad (Julia finds out later on that [[spoiler:he ran off because of an affair]]) = ParentalAbandonment
* MysteriousParent: To a degree: [[spoiler:Mother Florence died trying to save Julia's half-sister]].
* OneWordTitle: ProtagonistTitle + JobTitle.
* ProtagonistTitle: It's the protagonist's JobTitle.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Julia's heart and mind are clouded by thoughts of revenge after Scott is gravely injured.
* SecretKeeper: Amy
* ThePowerOfLove: Subversion: Julia ''thinks'' that Scott will be able to hear her through his coma because she loves him. On the other hand, it may just been because of her powers.
* TwoFirstNames: the Florences, Amy Belle.
* WitchSpecies: They're human females able to see the future and the present as well as heal people.
* [[YouCantFightFate You Can't Fight Fate]]: To a certain degree: Julia tries to stop Jim getting killed; Scott survives being shot in the head and [[spoiler:Jim ends up dying anyway]]).
