A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft.Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at her grandmothers' bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town. One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any town home. Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery.

Pretty predictable plot; a lot of things included that seemed thrown in there; not a fan of the art style. The world building was the best part…oh and TERRY ( )

2.5/5

Cute!

Very fast-paced, and a looot of stuff jammed into the story. I wish that, for how important the relationships were to the characters, we got more time seeing the characters and their relationships develop. Also kind of generic? Not bad, just not great. ( )

Mooncakes is a heartwarming and playful graphic novel about love, family, and witchcraft. It follows Nova Huang, a teenage witch who works at her grandmothers' bookstore and investigates supernatural occurrences in her small New England town. When she reconnects with her childhood best friend, Tam, who has recently turned into a werewolf, they must work together to defeat a powerful demon that threatens their town.

Mooncakes is a delightful story that celebrates diversity and inclusion. Nova is a deaf witch who uses hearing aids and non-verbal spells, and Tam is a bisexual werewolf. The two girls fall in love as they work together to save their town, and their relationship is one of the highlights of the story. And more, Nova has two grandmas in a relationship with each other, too.

Mooncakes is also a visually stunning graphic novel. Wendy Xu's art is vibrant and expressive, and it perfectly captures the magic of the story. The characters are all well-developed and relatable, and the story is full of humor and heart. ( )

Beautiful ❤️

The illustrations, the story, the representation! Everything was brilliant and I loved it. ( )

What I enjoyed the most about this graphic novel was the hearing aid representation. I’ve had hearing aids since I was in kindergarten, and I’ve never read a book with hearing aid representation in it was nice to see. ( )
