I absolutely adored this witchy, queer book about a girl who makes friends with a witch in the woods and takes an interest in natural science. Super charming! The character designs are wonderful, the support and acceptance we see throughout is heartwarming, and the gender and identity exploration is rewarding. Great Black rep! Bonus points for senior characters and two holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving)
