![]() When Snap’s mother tells her to make a friend, she befriends Lulu, who comes out as a trans girl in the story. Kat Leyh is known as one of the creators behind Lumberjanes (where kids who are hard-core lady-types have adventures and declare FRIENDSHIP TO THE MAX!) so it doesn’t surprise me that I love the representation in Snapdragon. ![]() The more time they spend together, though, the more Snap begins to realise that Jacks might be a real witch after all. Snap doesn’t get along with most of the kids at school, but somehow she likes Jacks just fine, and they make a deal – Jacks will teach her how to take care of the litter of baby opossums Snap rescued, and in return, Snap will help Jacks with her work. In this comic, a young girl named Snapdragon discovers that her town witch, Jacks, is really just an old lady who sells the skeletons of roadkill online. Snapdragon is a middle grade comic that is so good that I’m annoying some of our children’s section staff by changing around our April anniversary promotion so that I could include it in, and feature it in our store catalog. ![]() I don’t read a lot of MG, but when I do, they’re always so well-crafted and AMAZING and it makes me wonder if I’m just very lucky with my reads so far. ![]() She eats roadkill and cast spells with the bones…” – Snapdragon, Kat Leyh ![]()
