![]() ![]() Predictably, Sophie’s ability to move past her jealousy and reach out is what ultimately enables her to solve the conflict at the corner, as well. Another follows Sophie as she meets more neighborhood witches, and learns about a city corner that seems to be cursed–at least, everyone who goes by seems to meet with bad luck. One thread follows Sophie’s anger at her friend for paying more attention to the new girl than to her. ![]() What the Hex?! attempts to intertwine two parallel stories, with only partial success. What the Hex?! is a pleasant read, but not the type of story that invites rereading. Sophie, however, does not experience any real struggles with her magic in this installment, thereby lessening much of the drama and keeping the focus on her jealousy towards her friend’s infatuation with the new girl at school. Like many middle-grade graphic novels, it focuses on the drama of changing friend groups, though with the added twist of making the protagonist a witch. The sequel to Witches of Brooklyn is an engaging, if not particularly memorable read. ![]()
