dynamic art and figures that are nearly always in motion, keeping
the energy high and the tone lively."--The Bulletin of the Center
for Children's Books "Snapdragon is a unique and perfect story
about a witch in the woods, girls who live in a trailer park, and
the unexpected web of connections tying everyone together. It's a
book about finding your power, in more ways than one. I laughed and
cried, and you will, too!" --Molly Knox Ostertag, author of the
Witch Boy series "An absolute treasure. It's kind, vibrant, and
alive, with characters you'll love immediately--I had to reread it
right away, because I wasn't ready to say goodbye yet! An
unforgettable story about loving ourselves, those around us, and
the world we inhabit." --Gale Galligan, author of the Kristy's Big
Day graphic novel "Snapdragon is the shero for the girl in every
reader, casting her magic and fire on every panel, every page.
