With its suspenseful opening, Goat Magic immediately pulls you into a story that is both fun and profoundly deep. Kate Wheeler writes her characters—human and animal alike—with a delightful realism that makes every interaction feel authentic. The goats, in particular, are unpredictable, roguish marvels that steal every scene they’re in.
This book is so much fun—evil in the most delightful way possible. It's a brilliant story about not belonging, the struggle to find your niche, and the courage it takes to break free from society's expectations. And how, with proper support, one can rebuild themself after profound loss and grief.
This graphic novel is dark, broody, and completely engrossing. I was so captivated that I devoured it in a single sitting.
Light and playful. I consumed this all in a single sitting.
What a thrill of a ride! Fun. Gritty. Lots of action and intrigue. And I loved the premise for this one. It was conceptually unique and instantly compelling. I can definitely picture it as a TV show with its non-stop action and diverse characters.
An otherworldly romance set in Paris. I loved the diversity of magical/supernatural creatures. And I also loved the diversity of the characters sexual and romantic identities—a very good representation of different identities.
I love that this graphic novel was centered around queer characters and took place in an underrepresented area in novels—Bucharest, Romania. And while I was hoping to love more about this book, that was basically where my love ended.
A light tone and good diversity of characters. This book is definitely more character driven than most graphic novels, with a story that emphasizes the very human desire to fit in and feel wanted.
Read this! Read this! Read this! Illuminating and profound. It doesn't matter your age or gender, you will learn something from this wonderfully educational text that discusses gender in all its many forms. Scientific, yet down to earth.
As someone who loves to garden, this book was right up my ally. Diverse characters and LGBTQIA+ representation packed up in a cute and sweet love story.
Wowza! This is, hands down, my favorite graphic novel, to date. It was also the most banned book of 2022.
