The Hidden Witch

Molly Knox Ostertag writes and illustrates this Scholastic graphic novel series, launched in 2018, which follows a young girl discovering her magical lineage in a contemporary setting. The series explores themes of friendship, identity, and the responsibilities that come with hidden powers, all rendered in Ostertag’s warm, expressive style. With a single issue to date, The Hidden Witch is a quietly charming entry in the middle-grade fantasy comics landscape, notable for its thoughtful character work and inclusive storytelling.
