☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis debut volume of the Witch Boy Trilogy introduces Aster, a young boy in a magical family where girls become witches and boys become shapeshifters. Defying tradition, Aster secretly pursues his forbidden interest in witchery, leading to a story about identity, acceptance, and breaking gender norms. The graphic novel collects the complete first arc of the series, originally published in 2017 by Scholastic Graphix.
In "The Witch Boy," young Aster defies tradition in his family, where only women practice magic and men shift shape. Drawn to the mystical arts despite the rules, he secretly studies spells—until a mysterious creature kidnaps his male cousins. With the help of a brave non-magical girl, Aster must summon courage and creativity to trap the beast, uncovering a hidden family secret that challenges everything he thought he knew. Written and illustrated by Molly Knox Ostertag, with cover art by Molly Knox Ostertag and Phil Falco, this 2017 issue marks a pivotal moment in a story where magic, identity, and tradition collide.
