About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the heavy, isolating fog of adolescence or feeling like an outsider in their own community. It is a sophisticated graphic novel that follows fifteen year old Bucky Orson as he searches for his kidnapped sister in a town where every girl is a witch and every shadow holds a secret. Beyond the supernatural mystery, the story serves as a poignant metaphor for the loneliness of 'coming of age' and the weight of family expectations. Parents will appreciate the way it validates teenage gloom while ultimately pushing toward courage and connection. It is most appropriate for readers aged 12 and up due to its moody atmosphere and complex emotional themes of grief and social displacement.
