Very sweet story, with more adult themes than I was expecting - I was pleasantly surprised! Loved the casual disabled and queer rep. One character is introduced as non-binary when someone misgenders them by mistake - they correct themselves politely and the non-binary character is never misgendered again. Would love to see more of these characters.

Really cute, and I do like the story a lot. The letters are very easy to read and I think that made a lot of difference for me. The usual comic font is hard for me to read. 

Usually when I read a graphic novel something falls flat for me. Either the plot, the writing, or the setting/characters, it's hard to get all of them right. This had all three right plus the art was cute too!

What a lovely book. I was so taken by these characters and their world of magic. Everyone was just so loveable and I would happily spend more time in this world with everyone.

The cutest witchy graphic novel ever. There was so much that I was able to learn from this book. From friendships, family connections, to social issues. I loved everything about this.
