Zatanna: the Jewel of Gravesend
Zatanna: the Jewel of Gravesend | Alys Arden
4 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
From the bewitching mind behind The Casquette Girls, Alys Arden and with enchanting artwork by Jacquelin de Leon comes the story of a girl stuck in the middle of a magical rivalry and forced to choose between love, family, and magic without hurting anyone...or worse. There's more to the mobsters, mystics, and mermaids at the last stop on the D/F/Q trains: Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue. Zatanna's not your typical New Yorker. She walks her giant rabbit on a leather leash down the boardwalk, lives in a colossal architectural wonder known as the Golden Elephant, had her first kiss in the Haunted Hell Gate ride--and wouldn't have it any other way. But the time for having fun in Luna Park comes to an end when a mystic's quest for a powerful jewel unravels everything Zatanna thought she knew about herself and her beloved neighborhood. Mysteries and magic surround her as she reveals the truth about her family's legacy, and confronts the illusion that has been cast over her entire life.

A nice intro to a YA Zatanna. Frowned upon teen romance, start of summer, family drama. Good mystery, cute art.

4 ⭐ This is a new book in the DC universe for younger readers, in this case YA. Zatanna comes from a magical family. Her father is a world-renowned illusionist and her mother his sidekick. Her family has always wanted her to go into the family business, but she has absolutely no desire. One of her best friends however would love to take her place. It‘s the summer before senior year and it‘s meant to be spent at Coney Island, on the beach,

LibrarianRyan and with her friends. But it‘ll be dangerous, dark, and a bit magical, when Zatanna learns she‘s not who she always thought she was. This was an interesting story and I wonder if it is a new character or a preexisting one? Either way I thoroughly enjoyed it. The art is fantastic, the color amazing, and overall, a joy to read. I need volume to right now. 2y

5/5⭐
This graphic novel is ✨STUNNING!✨
The story is awesome too!
My new favorite graphic novel!
MYSTICS! MERMAIDS! MOBSTERS! MYSTERY!
I hope there will be a sequel soon as Zatanna's story is just getting started towards the end of this.
I'll also try to get my hands on Alys Arden's other books because her debut sounds amazing!
