Chaucer's Books

Chaucer’s Books is delighted to have Emma Steinkellner with us as she shares and signs her new graphic novel, The Okay Witch. And if Emma’s last name sounds eerily familiar, she is the daughter of Bill and Cheri Steinkellner (writers/producers of the sitcom Cheers and many other extraordinary projects), and sister to talented sibs, Kit and Teddy, also artists and authors.

In The Okay Witch, thirteen-year-old Moth Hush loves all things witchy. But she’s about to discover that witches aren’t just the stuff of movies, books, and spooky stories. When some eighth-grade bullies try to ruin her Halloween, something really strange happens. It turns out that Founder’s Bluff, Massachusetts, has a centuries-old history of witch drama. And, surprise: Moth’s family is at the center of it all! When Moth’s new powers show up, things get totally out-of-control. She meets a talking cat, falls into an enchanted diary, and unlocks a hidden witch world. With that revelation, Moth’s adventure truly begins – an adventure that spans centuries, generations, and even worlds – as she unravels the legacy at the heart of her life.

“This winning paranormal uses witchcraft to explore adolescent rebellion.”– Kirkus review

“…Moth’s magic proves better than ‘okay,’ and readers will hope for a sequel for the intriguing characters.” —-Publisher’s Weekly
