New Graphic Fiction for Kids

“Tur’s episodic and fast-paced plotting plus a cliffhanger ending will keep readers engaged and itching for the next volume. The energetic, manga-style art matches the energy of the characters, and the dramatic color palette adds to the strong sense of this witchy world…Full of magical adventure and heart.   “—Kirkus      

“Beautifully and brightly colored with lovely, atmospheric details.”—Booklist
