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 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.
