Really great new adventure books
I got some terrific new books this week from Netgalley-compelling, adventurous books! The first one is called "The Okay Witch" by Emma Steinkellner. It's a graphic novel (not my favorite) about a girl named Moth, who is 13 and struggling with all the usual middle school issues-friends, clothes, her mom, teachers. But on Halloween, Moth discovers that she's actually a witch and her mom is a witch too. Her mom chose to give up being a witch because her coven had been chased into hiding hundreds of years ago. Her mom wanted to live life in the real world and not in the utopia that her own mother had created. Moth is stunned at this revelation and has to decide if she wants to live a magical life or if she wants to live in the magic free zone her mom has created. Complicating matters are a cute new boy in town and the evil doers that chased Moth's family into hiding in the first place. It's a really fun, adventurous story and I liked it a lot, eve...
