The Witch Boy

A coming-of-age fantasy from Scholastic, The Witch Boy (2017–present) follows a young boy in a magical family where girls become witches and boys become shapeshifters—but he dreams of practicing witchcraft instead. Created by writer/artist Molly Knox Ostertag, this warmly illustrated graphic novel series explores gender roles, identity, and the courage to defy tradition. Its heartfelt story and inclusive themes have made it a standout in middle-grade comics.
