The Witch Boy

This graphic novel tells the story of Aster, a thirteen-year-old boy in a magical community where gender strictly dictates magical abilities. Girls become witches, and boys become shapeshifters, with severe consequences for deviation. Aster, however, feels a strong pull towards witchery, despite his inability to shapeshift and the threat of exile. The book explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and the courage to be oneself. It's a powerful narrative for children navigating their own sense of self and questioning traditional roles, all wrapped in an engaging fantasy setting.
