Review Quotes

"This book stands out from the crowd. The artwork is luminous and vibrant, featuring lots of bold reds and blues that fold and blend into each other. Readers will turn the pages more slowly than with most graphic novels, just to take some extra time to soak in all the visual details . . . A thought-provoking and surreal adventure featuring magical girls." --School Library Journal

"A stunningly illustrated webcomic turned graphic novel full of comical moments, body positivity, and magical girls!" --Booklist

"Bowers strikes a perfect balance between humor, adventure, and heart . . . Adapted from a popular webcomic into a full-length graphic novel, this volume will delight existing fans while attracting new devotees with imaginative worldbuilding . . . A thrilling journey of self-discovery, friendship, and heroism set against an artful backdrop." --Kirkus Reviews
