4.5

You know when a book is just good and you don’t have a whole lot to say about it besides that? That’s Snapdragon. The artwork is well done, with strong character designs that are simple yet highly expressive, and each panel has just the right amount of detail to make the world feel real while still being easily readable. The characters are easy to love and root for. The story is sweet yet also a little dark, but not in a way that feels inharmonious. It’s just good. Give it a read.

You ever just know you're going to love something and then when you finally get around to it, you absolutely do??? Yeah, that's me and this book. Also, I want to be Jacks when I grow up.

this story deals a lot with animal death but it's very respectful, and not really gory or violent.

Okay, this might just be a new favorite. The characters in this are simply fantastic! I love Snap, Lulu, and Jacks. The way Leyh incorporates magic is so unique and interesting, and really fits all of the characters well. Everything about this book, from the writing to the characters to the art, makes it absolutely lovely.

this was the book equivalent of 🥺️🥺️

it's about a young girl named snapdragon who accidentally befriends the local witch & ends up learning how to use magic for good. it is so pure & wholesome, while also being twisty & enthralling. a true, absolute delight.
