"If Mooncakes were a spell, it would be a housewarming charm that settles with care into the softest parts of a home and makes the houseplants grow. I wish I could live inside this book.” — New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuistonA story of love and demons, family and witchcraft. Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at her grandmothers’ bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town. One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any townhome. Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery. 2019 Goodreads Choice Award Finalist 2019 Cybils Award Finalist 2020 Hugo Award Nominee A 2020 ALA Rainbow Top Ten Book

"This was amazing! I loved the visibility for HOH people, the non-binary character, and the queer rep! Would definitely recommend for a sweet, cozy read!"

"I loved the style and the magic, witchy vibes. The representation is nice too. However, I think the book would’ve been much better if Tam had been the main focus instead of Nova. There were a lot of time skips and moments that get referenced that we, as the audience, don’t actually get to see - makes it seem rushed. It’s much harder to ignore in a graphic novel than a written one. The book needed to be longer. It’s a fine comfort read. I’ll still recommend it to people, but it’s not one I’ll personally be buying."
