THIS WAS SO WONDERFUL!!! I'M SO GLAD I STUMBLED UPON THIS!!!

I loved everything about this. It was whimsical, magical and wholesome and I will read it a few times more in the future, I'm sure.
The art style is so expressive, I especially loved Snap. She seemed so real, every emotion so clearly displayed (the others as well, but Snap is so energetic that I thought it was especially well done). She's a wonderful child in general. Her excitement for things other kids might find creepy, her loud personality, her love for animals... The other characters were wonderful as well, Jacks is an absolute delight. (I need to read more things with elderly butch queer women, I think.)
I also loved the witchy things, they're basically druids <3
The story arcs were woven together in a way I really enjoyed and how everything was kept lighthearted, even though there would've been opportunities to go darker. (... Beside the obvious of animal skeletons being everywhere. I thought I'd be creeped out, but I wasn't.)

Do yourself a favor and read this, it'll warm your heart.

(can also recommend reading this outside in the sun ... or in the shadows while it's sunny, in my case)

P.S. für deutsche Lesende: Ich bin lediglich leicht verwirrt, weil Vi basically direkt nacheinander Lulu richtig als Mädchen bezeichnet, dann aber von Snaps "Freund" spricht? I am confused. Idk ob das ein Fehler ist oder ein komischer Gebrauch des generischen Maskulinums?

This is a very cute story that lightly touches upon homophobia and animal death. It does show depictions of deceased animals along a road, as well as various animals' bones. It also lightly touches upon a person discovering who they are as well as working towards healing familial wounds. The content tags appear rough but in general a child between the ages of 8 and 13 will be able to handle them, especially with post-reading discussion.

NOT ME CRYING BECAUSE I DID NOT EXPECT TO FIND SUCH A WHOLESOME, DELIGHTFUL STORY 😭

Picked this up as part of my Halloween reads. Ended up reading a wonderful story about queer love through the years, queer identity, the magic around us, and finding your own power 🥹🥹🥹

This was just so, so good. The art, the colors, the storytelling, the atmosphere?? I just loved everything about this 😭 I need to see more people talk about this book.
