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...
I absolutely loved Snapdragon. It's a coming of age story that has characters growing and learning to come into their own, and it's something I can relate to. The art is gorgeous and cute and the story, though brief, is amazing. The pacing was perfect. It definitely gave me Studio Ghibli/Hayo Miyazaki vibes while reading. And as an artist, I loved how they provided a few pages of the comic process such as character design.

Such a sweet journey of being an individual, finding one’s tribe, and eventually owning one’s gifts. This was so heartwarming and of course, magical. I enjoyed the graphics and the unique characters.
