A review by bookph1le
The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this. In a short, beautifully drawn story, Ostertag has created a sympathetic and thoughtful story about gender and identity. She treats the topic with respect and shows how gendered expectations damage kids, forcing them to deny their true selves. This book features a diverse cast of characters, is richly symbolic, and deeply felt. I look forward to more from this author.
