While the art in this graphic novel is great, the storytelling is hampered by some odd stylistic choices. The first chapter is heavy with narration, leading to a slow start that unfortunately sets the pace for the rest of the book.

This book is clever, witty, and an absolute blast—I was laughing out loud from beginning to end. Beyond the fantastic humor, it’s a genuinely compelling story with excellent pacing and a heartwarming theme of acceptance.

I love how environmentally conscious this book is. And it is so refreshing how the grandma in this story is portrayed as strong and actively adventurous, rather than simply old and frail.

Such a fun and emotional story, with gorgeous and quirky art. This retelling of “Frau Holle” does a fantastic joy of conveying the burnout of everyday chores and the joys of relaxation after much hard work has been achieved.

A delightful continuation of the You Wish series. The main character is brave and kind, and this book really champions helping those in need. It is also a celebration of family and community.

Absolutely adorable. Great art, a quick compelling read, realistic dialogue, and relatable characters. This is a unique take on a genie story, told from the inside out. It had me smiling and giggling. I'm already eager for more. Lucky for me, the next book in the series will be released on June 3, 2025!

A gorgeous graphic novel about the joy of discovering nature and the grief of losing a family member. Picture driven, with very little text, but it still tells a thorough and compelling story.

This is my new favorite Christmas book! It is absolutely packed with Christmas spirit and hijinks. I smiled throughout the whole thing. Quintessentially Christmas. Modern, but timeless. Fun, quirky and perfect for the whole family.

This was a very good retelling—true to the original story—but with a flavor that speaks to Gaiman's skill as a storyteller. The dark and twisted artwork, by Lorenzo Mattotti, invites closer inspection and lends its own shadowy abstruseness to this childhood classic.
