With a delicate hand, this graphic novel explores the emotional difficulties of establishing relationships after a childhood spent root-bound.
Orla, a nomadic car-camping hedge witch, is reluctantly drawn back to the town of Haresden by the death of its witch, her grandmother Mamo. With the support of Jo, a local girl happily ensconced in the community, Orla must stem the chaos caused by Mamo’s improper burial, struggling to balance her hard-won independence with her newfound ties to the town and burgeoning romantic feelings.
Description
Family matters aren’t just hocus-pocus for this young witch!
Cartoonist Sas Milledge (The Lost Carnival: A Dick Grayson Graphic Novel) makes her astonishing debut in her first original graphic novel that answers the question of how we all reconcile our responsibilities with our dreams for our own future. Orla O’Reilly, the youngest in a long line of hedge witches, is compelled to return home after the death of her grandmother, Mamo. In the wake of her Mamo’s passing, seas are impossible to fish, crops have soured, even Jo Manalo’s attic is taken over by a poltergeist! And to make matter worse it appears that the cause is Mamo, or her mislaid bones that is. Can Orla shoulder the responsibility of quieting her Mamo’s spirit, saving her hometown, and will she have to step up as the new witch of Haresden like Mamo always wanted? Collects Mamo #1-5.
