Highly recommended for kids who like the aesthetics and color palette of Raina Telgemeier’s books, but also like stories that have more of a spooky element. Kids today are more than ready for a book like this. Snap likewise reflects the realities of the upcoming generation, who seem to be more accepting of queer and trans people in their midst and have more interesting things going on in their lives. I don’t do any of those things but I have never felt so seen. She wears a witch’s cloak and Crocs, and an eyepatch over her right eye. Jacks cleans up roadkill, buries it, and rebuilds their skeletons to sell them on the internet.

When Jacks agrees to help Snap take care of the possums in exchange for assistance with her “work,” Snap isn’t afraid to enter into a deal. That’s what drives Snap to bring a crate of orphaned possums to Jacks’s house, so that the old crone can look after them. In fact, she’s sure Jacks isn’t a witch, since she took care of Snap’s dog when he was injured. Snapdragon-Snap, for short-isn’t afraid of the witch living in her town.
