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.Author: Kat LeyhPublisher: First SecondPublished: 02/04/2020Pages: 240Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.96lbsSize: 7.90h x 5.50w x 0.80dISBN: 9781250171115Audience: Ages 9-12Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 2.4Point Value: 1Interest Level: Middle GradeQuiz #/Name: 507364 / SnapdragonReview Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 11/25/2019School Library Journal 01/10/2020 pg. 1Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 02/01/2020Booklist 02/15/2020 pg. 48About the AuthorKat Leyh is a Chicago based writer and artist.
