Love the characters, the events, the lessons, the relationships, how themes were addressed. Felt so natural and comforting to read. A world i'd like to live in. Such an embracement of diversity!!

LOVE. Immediately wanted to reread. Adore the characters, the art is dynamic and easy to read, and the story is so intimate and warm.

This was genuinely so cute. And wholesome.

It was a really well crafted graphic novel, and had a fully fleshed-out and satisfying plot with some AMAZING characters. I liked the exploration of the many different relationships people have in their lives, and also the inclusion of magic! Snap and Jacks had the absolute best freindship; like, the grumpy old mentor and the overly enthusiastic young student... so good, gave the best vibes.

ALSO WE STAN AN ACCEPTING AND OPEN-MINDED MOTHER.

There was some really good diversity in this, including a trans poc (Lulu is adorable), an f/f romance (and they're both OLD, like it's not just two youngins), and a single mother who is working AND studying.

I love the multi-generational love and sense of community throughout the story. The idea of small town charm and close knit rural community represented as something available and attainable for queer folks hit a note of longing that I'd buried a long time ago. To have that openness and to not have the fear of rejection from the community or one's own family in small town America plainly written in a book geared towards children is quietly and profoundly revolutionary. Violet standing up to the condescending bookstore employee and supporting her daughter's interest in STEM also brought me immense joy.

It was really nice to see

gender non-conforming and transgender children be not only accepted, but loved and supported by their families and community. Lulu's role as the catalyst for Snap's magic manifesting because of their close bond and Snap's desire to see her friend get the hair of her dreams

shows that love and kindness are at the root of the novel's magic system. It's a really refreshing concept.
Overall, Snapdragon was an entertaining and quick read that's heartwarming and cozy for readers of all ages. It's full of an interesting plot line, cast of dynamic characters, and expressive illustrations. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
