The perfect MG graphic novel
Format: Paperback
I absolutely adored this MG graphic novel!
In this fantasy adventure we follow Aster, a young boy raised by a magical collective of families. For as long as they can remember, boys have always shifted and girls have always performed magic, but Aster knows he has magic inside of him, the kind the girls are always using. As a mysterious force thrusts the families' adolescents into danger, Aster must come to terms with his true nature and find the strength to thwart the evil threat.
I think what worked best for me was our MC Aster. He's an introverted kid that's going through puberty, and naturally everything is confusing. I remember feeling the same way growing up, so it wasn't hard to resonate and cheer for him as he struggled and sorted things out. I thought he was a great hero with intelligence and a sound, rational mind, someone younger readers could look up to.
The world this was set in was so cool! This little colony of magical families is set just outside the reach of the normal human world, and I loved the easy to understand magic system and the little secrets within. I had to know everything!
Plotwise this book had it all. Magic, mystery, and a little dollop of mayhem. A core theme of this novel is questioning gender roles, and I think it made some great points while keeping things light and fun. Pacing was great and moved quickly like I prefer, and I honestly have no complaints about this great work of fiction.
If you're looking for a light LGBT read for you or your youngster, this is the perfect pick!

Kids Love It
Format: Paperback
My sons both really enjoyed this book. They found the magical theme and characters very enjoyable. The graphic novel format is especially awesome. My 10 year old is dyslexic and graphic novels have been instrumental in cultivating his love of reading. He's a very visual and kinesthetic learner, and graphic novels make it so he can dive into a book and understand the story, even if he can't quite decipher all the words. With all the tutoring and reading support that challenges him, it's important to find ways to make reading enjoyable and relevant. This book is now part of our collection that helps us accomplish that! My 8 year old is not dyslexic, but he's not reading totally fluently yet, so he gets the same benefit out of graphic novels. The reasons I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt like the story missed some opportunities for more depth. The story arc was a little flat, and the relationship between Aster and Charlie wasn't very well developed so you just had to assume they had some sort of soul connection that explained their closeness. Also, at the end of the story the parents say the most annoying thing to the main character when he reveals his differences and saves the day, "We love you no matter what." "No matter what" is what I imagine Charles Manson's mother would say about loving him. The phrase implies that they believe there is something terribly wrong with him, but they still love him in spite of it rather than loving him because of his uniqueness and without conditions. These, of course, are things that only I as an adult picked up on. My kids still loved the book, and want to read the rest of the series. Overall, I'm super happy with this book and am grateful to have it!

Great representations
Format: Kindle
cute story and great art.
I like it just fine.
Although it does do a bit of a too heavy handed "parents never understand thing".
which is a part of the thing's theme. I get that. Still though, having a secret family of magic peeps being staunch gender conformity supporters doesn't make sense. Witches have an extensive history of cross gender stuff.
There are a few not so great magic rules that the book doesn't really answer but I can't expect it to.
It's a very short story and doesn't have time to answer my quibbles.
It's a delightful read, but it does have flaws. I'd give an average book 3 or 4 stars. but seeing as how important this sort of story is I'm giving it the full 5. It is creative enough to deserve it and the majority of the metaphors and representation are treated very well and understandable through a child's eyes.
I look forward to the prospect of reading this story to my kids.

So good
Format: Kindle
Read this for the Trans Rights Readathon, and it's so good. While it's not an explicitly "trans" narrative, it is clearly about the often restrictive and even harmful nature of enforcing gender roles. Kids know what they like, be it sports or art or magic or all of it; it's adults, like Aster's entire family and culture, who have created and clung to dividing kids between boy things and girl things.
The art is perfect for this story, and very dynamic. Every character is different and recognizable, even in different forms.
One of my favorites.
