five-stars

Fans of Ostertag’s Witch Boy series will be very happy with this new graphic novel. Actually, just about anyone would be happy with it because it’s a perfect middle school to teen romance that combines selkie mythology with a teen who is reluctant to let her friends and family know that she is gay. Great character development, beautiful and clever illustrations, plenty of friend drama, some boating action, and a heart-straining but satisfying resolution make this hard to put down. Suggest this for fans of Noelle Stevenson and Kat Leyh.
