The Wheel of Fortune by Benjamin Dickson
5.0
Daisy longs to be the Queen’s Royal Witch and when she discovers there is an opening, she sets out on her own to fulfill her dream. When she is refused admittance to the palace, she takes a job as a maid. After finally being placed in the auditions for the role of a lifetime, Daisy must face her insecurities and find the confidence she needs to win. But will that be enough?
This was such a fun graphic novel! I loved the preface about Queen Elizabeth I and think it was a perfect way to set the stage. The story was fast-paced and very entertaining. There was a good amount of humor and the characters, especially Daisy, were very relatable. The magical elements were a delightful addition to the story. The messages were heartfelt and beneficial for all ages.
The illustrations were awesome! The detail was fantastic and I especially loved the vividly broad range of facial expressions of all the characters.
Though this is a middle-grade graphic novel, I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves history and historical fiction!!
