"In thirteen-year-old Aster's family, all the girls are raised to be witches, while boys grow up to be shapeshifters. Anyone who dares cross those lines is exiled. Unfortunately for Aster, he still hasn't shifted... and he's still fascinated by witchery, no matter how forbidden it might be. When a mysterious danger threatens the other boys, Aster knows he can help -- as a witch. It will take the encouragement of a new friend, the non-magical and non-conforming Charlie, to convince Aster to try practicing his skills. And it will require even more courage to save his family... and be truly himself.

Great submitted by jibkidder on June 21, 2022, 8:15am A great graphic novel for kids about trans issues that doesn't sacrifice anything in its narrative for the sake of getting a point across.

Fantastic submitted by majean on July 22, 2022, 3:49pm I love this world and the characters. Some very good lessons for kids and adults alike.

Something is brewing submitted by vtenchova on July 15, 2023, 10:56pm Aster is a boy raised in a family of witches and shape shifters but the rule goes boys are shape shifters girls are witches. Aster cannot shape shift but is good at witching stuff. Then something begins to steal all the boys. Then it try's to take Aster!

This story is fine for kids it is not very scary and not really any fighting it reminds of men and women's rights
and how sports and different arts are traditionally for men or women.
