But as Snap gets closer to Jacks (while also navigating another middle-school friendship), she discovers that Jacks is surprisingly intertwined with her family history-and that she might have magic after all. Snap is appropriately weirded out by this fact, but she also becomes intrigued by Jacks's work and starts helping her with it, forming a bond with her in the process. After her beloved dog Good Boy disappears, Snap goes to the witch's house and confronts her only to find that she is just a harmless if grouchy old woman named Jacks, who makes a living selling the skeletons of roadkill online (yes, you read that right). Snap is bullied at school and considered weird, so she mostly avoids her classmates and does her own thing. Snapdragon's protagonist, Snapdragon Bloom (or Snap for short), lives with her single mother in a trailer park right near the home of a rumored witch. I've seen many bloggers enjoying this graphic novel over the past few months, and since I love graphic novels, I decided to finally pick up a copy and see what all of the fuss was about.
