Karen's Witch: A Graphic Novel

Karen Brewer watches neighbor Mrs. Porter’s robes, gray hair, black cat, and garden work and decides these details prove she is the witch Morbidda Destiny. When Mrs. Porter prepares for a special gathering, Karen’s suspicion grows into fear that the visitors will cast a spell on her.

The mystery is driven by interpretation rather than hidden evidence: Karen assembles ordinary observations into a supernatural conclusion. That makes the book useful for discussing how certainty can grow from selective clues and an active imagination. Ivy and Bean turns a mistaken first impression into friendship; Karen’s Witch shows how selective observation can harden into suspicion.
