Hexeleintje #4

A young dark-haired girl in a red jacket crouches at the center of a glowing green bubble, surrounded by twisting dark vines and carnivorous-looking plants, while a colorful axolotl-like creature peers down from above — it's a wonderfully eerie image that sets the mood for "Dagdromen en nachtmerries" (Daydreams and Nightmares). Paola Antista's cover work blends lush, slightly menacing flora with a sense of magical entrapment that feels both enchanting and unsettling. The fourth volume of Hexeleintje, brought to life by Sylvia Douyé, Remco Koning, and Antista, looks to be a captivating read for fans of young-adult fantasy with a darker edge.
