The Witch Boy
The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag is a popular middle grade graphic novel about Aster, a boy in a magical family where boys are supposed to shape-shift and girls become witches. When he’s drawn to witchcraft instead, he must challenge gendered traditions to help protect his community. The story’s bright art and inviting pacing make it easy for reluctant readers to dive in, while the themes of identity, expectations, and courage resonate widely. It’s an excellent starting point for conversations about gender roles and being true to yourself.
