Something about this new paperback graphic novel caught my eye. Snap (short for Snapdragon) has reason to believe that the one-eyed motorcycle-riding old woman named Jacks who may or may not be a witch is the one who can help her find her lost dog.
Aside from having an old biker for a babysitter when I was a child, there was also an ivy-covered, spooky-looking house I was always suspicious about on my walk to elementary school many years ago. My friends and I truly believed there were vampires or witches living in that house. Just by looking at the cover, the book had already caught my attention because of those two similarities to stories from my youth.
This is a quick read about reaching past first impressions, learning from neighbors, and the power of family and friends. I would indeed recommend it to anyone curious about the weird neighbor down the block or anyone who appreciates a little magical realism in their stories of brave youth.
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Cardboard Kingdom, by Chad Sell, Hey Kiddo, by Jarrett Krosoczka, Bingo Love, by Tee Franklin or the Steven Universe comic or TV show.]
