Kat Leyh's Snapdragon is a magical realist graphic novel about a young girl who befriends her town's witch and discovers the strange magic within herself.

Snap's town had a witch.

At least, that's how the rumor goes. But in reality, Jacks is just a crocks-wearing, internet-savvy old lady who sells roadkill skeletons online--after doing a little ritual to put their spirits to rest. It's creepy, sure, but Snap thinks it's kind of cool, too.

They make a deal: Jacks will teach Snap how to take care of the baby opossums that Snap rescued, and Snap will help Jacks with her work. But as Snap starts to get to know Jacks, she realizes that Jacks may in fact have real magic--and a connection with Snap's family's past.

LOVEABLE.

There is SO much to absolutely love about this book. The characters are rich and their growth and experiences as members of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community progress alongside all the whymsical magic you might imagine taking place by befriending a witch. The storyline's main focus, Snapdragon's journey into witchery, is enriched by her surrounding experiences; living frugally with her mother, supporting her transitioning friend, befriending an elderly women, and confronting her own ideas on identity.
