A swoon-worthy young adult graphic novel about a girl's summer job at a theme park from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer.

When Tabitha Laurie was growing up, a visit to Sommerland saved her belief in true love, even as her parents' marriage was falling apart. Now she's landed her dream job at the theme park's prestigious summer program, where she can make magical memories for other kids, guests, and superfans just like her. All she has to do is audition for one of the coveted princess roles, and soon her dreams will come true.

There's just one problem. The heroes and heroines at Sommerland are all, well. thin. And no matter how much Tabi lives for the magic, she simply doesn't fit the park's idea of a princess.

Given a not-so-regal position at a nacho food stand instead, Tabi is going to need the support of new friends, a new crush, and a whole lot of magic if she's going to devise her own happily ever after. . . without getting herself fired in the process.

With art by Joelle Murray, the wonder of Sommerland comes to life with charming characters and whimsical backdrops. We Could Be Magic is a perfect read for anyone looking to get swept away by a sparkly, sweet summer romance.

Reviews for We Could Be Magic

""Meyer (With a Little Luck) charms in this touching graphic novel tale about chasing one's dreams, overcoming obstacles, and believing in magic. Jewel-toned artwork by Murray (A Day at Abbott Elementary) evokes fairy tale vibes, making for a cozy and appropriately swoony read.""--Publishers Weekly ""This is a sweet, wholesome story about dreams, self-esteem, -motivation, and pushing back against societal norms. The whimsical drawings are colorful and upbeat. . . A charming story that is recommended for libraries that are looking for sweet, fun -romances.""--School Library Journal ""The bright, colorful illustrations, which emphasize the characters' emotions, set the stage for a delightfully affirming story of learning to accept yourself despite what others may say. Even with the very quick pacing, the storytelling is strong. Meyer explores themes of body positivity and bullying as Tabi contends with cutting comments about her size but ultimately creates and spreads joy with support from those who value her as she is. A whimsical, enchanting, and celebratory read.""--Kirkus
