Snapdragon’s (Snap for short) town has a witch that eats roadkill and people’s pets. At least, that’s how the rumor goes. So, when Snap’s dog Good Boy goes missing, she knows she needs to confront her. Instead of a scary witch, Snap finds that Jacks is just a crocs-wearing, internet-savvy old lady who sells roadkill skeletons online—after doing a little ritual to put their spirits to rest. Creepy…. The two agree to a deal -- Jacks will teach Snap how to take care of the baby opossums that Snap rescued, and Snap will help Jacks with her work. But as Snap starts to get to know Jacks, she realizes that Jacks may in fact have real magic -- and a connection with Snap’s family’s past. The graphic novel has magic, a unique storyline, and lots of LGBTQ characters. That said, I have several issues with this book…. the biggest is a lack of positive examples of relationships. Snap has a wonderful relationship with her mother, but the romantic relationships have issues – such as violence, bullying, being in a heterosexual relationship when they are queer. Also, the portrayal of a few of the Black characters gives me pause. Louis/ Lulu comes to terms with her identity off-page, it seems to just passively develop in the background. Finally, Snapdragon feels less like a book for kids and more like a book for older readers that just happens to have a kid as a protagonist. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Snap's town had a witch. At least, that's how the rumor goes. But in reality, Jacks is just a crocks-wearing, internet-savvy old lady who sells roadkill skeletons online--after doing a little ritual to put their spirits to rest. It's creepy, sure, but Snap thinks it's kind of cool, too. They make a deal: Jacks will teach Snap how to take care of the baby opossums that Snap rescued, and Snap will help Jacks with her work. But as Snap starts to get to know Jacks, she realizes that Jacks may in fact have real magic--and a connection with Snap's family's past."--Provided by publisher.
