We needed a bit of a palette cleanser this month, so we dove into Molly Knox Ostertag's graphic novel The Witch Boy. Join us as we get to know Aster, Charlie, and the dark forces at play in this quick allegorical read.

Also discussed: Toadies, aprons, Addams Family Values, Bluebeard, serial Westerns, and horny nuns.

Next month we will be reading Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary by Brandon Mull.
