(2) 4-6 Witch-in-training Aster (The Witch Boy) and his grandmother secretly work to heal his great-uncle Mikasi, who's stuck in dragon form. Meanwhile, Aster's non-magic friend Charlie clicks with new girl Ariel, who can't control her magic. The graphic novel's thick black outlines help the muted autumnal colors pop, and varied lettering, balloons, and panel styles add energy and depth. Dialogue and visual cues reveal moments of tension and connection, and world-building is spot-on.
