When thirteen-year-old biracial Moth Hush learns about her true heritage as a witch, she "borrows" her mom Calendula's diary and transports herself into young Calendula's memories, starting with her escape from persecution in colonial Massachusetts. This endearingly illustrated and energetically paced graphic novel has an abundance of sweetness and warm humor but also addresses serious topics of racism and misogyny.
