This is a graphic novel, so if you’re not interested in comic books, this is not a book for you. That being said, this is a beautiful story of friendship. It takes place at a school for witches, many of which are orphans. When I finished watching Netflix show, Wednesday, I looked for recommendations of books like the show, this was one of them. They both are about a girl who is trying to solve a mystery, as well as the paranormal aspects.
The art in this book is beautiful, and I found the story fun and well done. This is one of those books that you can read fairly quickly, as it is a comic and fast pasted. Though I feel like it enhanced the experience more than taking something away.
I enjoyed this read and think you will like it too.
Tell me if this has helped in your choice to add this to your TBR.

“Fans of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will love diving into the mysterious and witchy world of award-nominated creator Sweeney Boo. Enchanting full-color illustrations will be sure to charm readers as they explore the halls of Younwity's Institute of Magic and the forbidden forest that lies beyond.
In the days leading up to Samhain, the veil between the world of the dead and the living is at its thinnest.
One day, everything was exactly as it was supposed to be. And the next, the closest thing Abby ever had to a sister, Noreen, was just… gone.
Distracted by the annual preparations for the Samhain festival, Abby’s classmates are quick to put Noreen’s disappearance aside. The Coven will find her, Abby’s friends say. They have it under control.
But Abby can’t let it go. Soon a search for answers leads her down a rabbit hole that uncovers more secrets than Abby can handle. As mounting evidence steers her toward the off-limits woods that surround the academy, she begins to see that Noreen’s disappearance mysteriously has a lot in common with another girl who went missing all those years ago…”
I stumbled upon this book while I was looking for things that were like the show “Wednesday” after binging it in one night. This kept coming up in my search on multiple websites as something to try.
The art in this book is beautiful, which was the first impression that I got from the book. As I dove into the book, I fell in love with the story. It defiantly hit home for what I was looking for. With a touch of Horror, Mystery and the Paranormal it was well done. It is a fast passed story that flows well from scene to t scene.
This is a book that I highly recommend and if your Joansing for more Wednesday this will be right up your ally.
