This book was just an all around treat, from the art to the story to the characters to the world. Much of the artwork reminded me of a Ghibli movie, with magic inbedded in almost all parts of the land. Jo just wants to figure out to save her town from the chaos that has descended; Orla reluctantly decides to help her, since it seems to be her grandmother that caused it in the first place.
I can't get over the artwork in this book. It makes you want to travel to this little town, whip up magic and spells and just have a cup of tea. Like, I am seriously considering buying it because I loved it just that much and I want to have it on my shelf just to look at from time to time.
The relationship between Jo and Orla was also adorable. I just loved them together. If you're looking for a cute, magical, beautiful graphic novel to round out your 2022 reading list, I highly recommend this!
