Magoc May Youtube is a phrase that has gained popularity on the internet. It refers to the idea that anyone can become successful and famous by creating and uploading videos on the popular video-sharing platform, YouTube. This notion stems from the success stories of many YouTubers who have achieved fame and fortune through their channels. YouTube has provided a platform for individuals to showcase their talent and creativity to a global audience. The variety of content on YouTube is vast, ranging from music and entertainment to education and lifestyle. This diversity allows creators to find their niche and create content that resonates with their audience.
My 8 year old boy (a traditional "boy" in most areas, I think the term is "cis"?) devoured this book when it came from the library and asked for more in the series. He explained to me that, in the book, boys and girls weren't allowed to do the same things, but this boy, "who looks like a girl", wants to learn magic. I read it on his advice. It stars a boy, Aster, who is good at magic despite being a boy (boys in this universe are shape-shifters), and his friend Charlotte (known as Charlie, an African-American girl from the nonmagical part of society). The kids are thoughtful and persistent. I love that this book questions society's gender roles and has people of color. The scary parts are a bit scary, and some parents might be concerned over the witchcraft side of things (pentagrams and the like). Really, that was my biggest concern, that the "witchy" elements of the book would lead to it being rejected by some people who otherwise might enjoy its messages.
Loophole Abuse After the mysterious creature attempts to strike a deal with Aster, it magically seals his throat so Aster cannot tell his family what just happened. Though Aster never displays explicit discomfort specifically with being assigned male, it s shown his preference for magic isn t merely personality when Mikasi tastes his soul and discovers it is that of a witch.
This diversity allows creators to find their niche and create content that resonates with their audience. One of the main reasons why YouTube has become a springboard for success is its accessibility. Anyone with an internet connection and a camera can create content and upload it to the platform.
Review: The Witch Boy
On the surface, Witch Boy is a fantasy story about a reclusive family who practice magic. But below the surface, it’s a story of gender roles. Whether or not readers will dig that deep is entirely up to them. Whether or not they discuss it, again, is up to them. But young readers will have an exciting adventure story to enjoy. The Witch Boy By Molly Knox Ostertag.
Scholastic Graphix. 2018. ISBN 9781338089516
PBK, $12.99. 218pp.
Grades 4 and up In Aster’s clan, the girls practice witchcraft and the boys shapeshift. Aster, a boy, hasn’t been able to shift, and he has an intense interest in witchcraft, but whenever he tries to learn, he’s shunned and sent out to play or be with the other boys of his clan.
When a shapeshifting ceremony goes awry, and Aster’s cousin goes missing, Aster uses some of the witchcraft he’s picked up on to help find him. While his cousin is missing, Aster goes out walking and befriends Charlie, a young girl from a nonmagical family who has broken her leg. Aster feels comfortable with Charlie and is able to share his deepest thoughts and secrets with her, including his magical gifts. But when the demon monster reaches out to Aster, he will have to show his family that his true desire is witchcraft. Will they come to terms?
While the storytelling feels a bit rushed in the end, overall this is a really sweet and exciting story. The rich artwork and lush colors lay the groundwork for an eerie and magical setting. Readers will feel Aster’s discomfort and his out-of-sorts feeling with his drive to find a place he fits in. The strong part of this story is Charlie and her friendship with Aster. This is a solid choice for reading. Filed under: Graphic Novels, Reviews
