Other Words for Smoke by Sarah Maria Griffin
Other Words for Smoke (2019) is not a traditional coming-of-age story. Its composite parts include a magical house, a witch, her apprentice, their talking cat and an evil owl fed on bones that materialises through the walls.

The story opens with twins Mae and Rossa huddled outside the wreckage of a burnt house.
