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.
This was so awesome!!!! The reveal in chapter two was so good.
my friend recommended this to me and must I say, they have IMPECCABLE taste.
Kat Leyh is quickly moving up my ranks of favorite cartoonists. Her character designs, movement, and panelling are all great and inventive. And I love how bright everything is. Started with Thirsty Mermaids and that’s more aimed at me, but this was cute and definitely added to the niece/nephew future present list. Can’t wait to read her next book!
Kat Leyh consistently has a really marvelous touch with found-family stories and this is no exception
