Publisher Description
Being a teenage witch—or rock star—is tougher than it looks! But maybe enemies can become friends…or more? Flying brooms and electric guitars set hearts aflame in this fantastically fizzy graphic novel. When Margot meets Elena, emotions run high, magic is in the air, and doughnuts...float? One is a stressed-out witch trying to get her potions business off the ground, the other is a struggling rock musician whose band is going nowhere. Neither of them are having a good time! No wonder things quickly escalate from words to literal sparks flying when they first meet. Could this be the start of a delicious new relationship...or is a bad-luck curse leading them to certain doom?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When Margot, a teenage witch with performance anxiety, fails her spell licensing exam for the third time, she flies off to Midnight Froth Doughnuts to drown her sorrows in chocolate. There, she meets and immediately clashes with Elena, a human musician struggling to find a following while working a day job at the doughnut shop. After the girls' blowout argument, Margot accidentally curses a doughnut that Elena subsequently eats. That evening, when Margot learns the curse has caused a disaster at Elena's gig, she feels guilty and tracks Elena down to deliver an antidote. Once the girls reconcile their initial animosity, they begin spending time together, quickly but naturally developing a romantic relationship as Elena's next show and Margot's next exam approach. Lorinczi uses simple paneling, thin black line art, and varying blue hues paired with splashes of bubblegum pink to strike a lighthearted, low-conflict tone. The characters' genuine chemistry and uplifting, mutual appreciation and support for one another capably epitomize healthy teen relationships. This fast-paced enemies-to-lovers romance, filled with magic, music, and pastries, is an upbeat confection. Characters cue as white. Ages 13–17.
