Discover the strange magic within yourself in Kat Leyh's enchanting graphic novel, Snapdragon. Snap's town had a witch. At least, that's how the rumor goes. But in reality, Jacks is just a crocs-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 mysterious connection to Snap's family's past. Kat Leyh's Snapdragon is a spellbinding contemporary fantasy exploring themes of friendship, family secrets, and self-discovery. This beautifully illustrated magical realist tale will captivate readers of all ages who believe in the power of being true to yourself.
