Sas Milledge's Mamo has it all — witches, folklore, fae, LGBTQ+ romance. Paired with stunning artwork that's reminiscent of Ghibli and a major narrative focus on place and belonging, this delightfully bewitching read is perfect for summer daydreaming and trips back home.

"The old witch, how did she die?"
"Alone. A bitter old thing. Your witch was trying to escape that fate, we think. We do wonder why she came back. Perhaps we all fly home, one day. No matter how cold it is, how dark."
