Review Quotes:
"In lushly painted, cinematic artwork filled with humor and warmth, this series opener is a great cozy fall read for adventurous readers."-- Booklist

"This whimsical picture book graphic novel captures the illogical-yet-somehow-makes-sense mindset of a child with charm and energy. Brume, a witchy protagonist brimming with spunk, carries the story with a bold personality that young readers will instantly latch onto. The narrative balances playfulness with darker undertones: the eerie forbidden forest, populated with shadowy monsters and an ominous magical boulder, adds suspense and intrigue... The book's witchy theme makes it a natural seasonal pick, especially around Halloween, though its imaginative world can delight year-round. The visual storytelling is vivid, enhancing the sense of whimsy and danger in equal measure... adventurous children will be enchanted by Brume's spirited journey... A quirky, darkly whimsical graphic/picture book hybrid."-- School Library Journal

"Though Shakespeare wrote his famous line in A Midsummer Night's Dream about Hermia -- 'Though she be but little, she is fierce' -- he could have easily been talking about the spirited star of this funny and charming graphic novel, the first in a new series for middle-grade readers. With lively, cinematic digital illustrations and an irresistibly lovable heroine, this is a delightful tale and a promising start to more magical adventures. Hand this one to your own wannabe witch." --Sarah Miller, Can We Read? substack

"The first volume in a new magical graphic novel series for middle school readers... fans of Hicotea, Hilda, and Sorceline will enjoy this new series."-- Good Comics for Kids, a School Library Journal blog (Weekly Pick)

"Brume is a little witch-in-training who is learning magic upon the disappearance of the town witch. With her pig sidekick and her friend Hugo, she learns that maybe her powers are more than she bargained for. Funny and perfect for Halloween!"-- Book Love, Plymouth, MA

"This one is a favorite of the year! The perfect story for the reader with an imagination and loves seeing brave heroines, heroes and little pigs save the day. Brume is one of the most confident young girls I had the pleasure to read! Her boldness and belief in herself is UNWAVERING even when she unintentionally brings about an endless fog with a messed up spell. She doesn't let this stop her and her ragtag trio from setting off for a dragon and making things right!" --Bookmarks NC, Winston-Salem, NC

"A very enchanting book! Beautiful illustrations and very enjoyable characters. I especially liked the pig and Brume. The only shortcoming was that it was too short and I need the second volume now!"± Lake Villa District Library, Lindenhurst, IL

"Oh my goodness, this was absolutely adorable! I picked it because the illustrations were so cute and ahhh, it's honestly cute the whole way through... I cannot wait to see where the next one goes. This was so, so cute and I loved the trio of Brume, Hugo and poor put upon Bacon Bit. Highly recommend!"-- Blogger Rebecca Crunden

"...Clever and fun. There is action, mayhem and fantasy realism... The colors and details are bold, bright and have both a cozy and mysterious feel."-- Cannonball Reads

The Beat's Best Kids Comics of 2025 (Comics Beat)

Brume, a feisty wannabe witch, is on a quest to learn magic in the first volume of this enchanting graphic novel series for kids ages 7-11--perfect for fans of the Hicotea, Hilda, and Sorceline series.

Brume is a tiny but mighty heroine with plenty to prove to the people of her small village. With her newly discovered spellbook and two sidekicks in tow, she'll try her hand at spells, mess up sometimes, and discover magical adventures along the way.

The great witch Naïa has always protected the village--but where has Naïa gone? Enter Brume, a plucky and spirited witch-to-be, who dreams of being able to cast spells. When Brume's father hands her a secret spellbook, she tries out her wand and cauldron--and manages only to cover the whole village in fog! But is the fog a result of Brume's first spell, or is it smoke from a fire breathing dragon who has awakened?

Accompanied by her pig, Hubert, and her best friend, Hugo, Brume sets off to find out what happened--and to save the village one step at a time. Here is a funny, charming, and accessible graphic novel--the first in a series--that is just as heart-warming as it is hilarious.
