This author is new to me, but I will be keeping an eye out for anything else they publish. I loved the story and the characters. The pacing of the story was great and the characters were relatable.

This book is so magical and romantic and the art style is so wonderful! I love all the real talks this book doesn’t shy away from and also lives in a super fun atmosphere of a magical theme park. The perfect YA summer romance.

Loved this graphic novel from Marissa Meyer and hope we'll see more from Marissa in the future. Wonderful story of overcoming obstacles, holding on to dreams, and being true to yourself and your beliefs. The Disney vibes and similarities will draw readers in and expose the expectations and rules that many guests never see.

First I wanted to say thank you to Fierce Reads for sending me an e-arc of this graphic novel! This came out at the perfect time of Summertime!! I don't know why it took me till 2 months after publication to read becasue when I had a physical copy from my library I read this in one sitting!
Marissa meyer is an autobuy author for me so I was so happy to see something diffeferent & new from her. I thought the artwork was very cute I didn't love the fat shaming in here but that wasn't the main foucs on it. We follow our main character name Tabitha and she goes to Sommerland which is bascially a nod to disneyland. It's a cute little romance for this fandom that Tabitha have found in this world. Tabitha might or might not find love there too. It was just a perfect book to get me out of my reading slump I was in at the end of summer and can't wait to read more from Marissa Meyer 4 out 5 stars!(:

We Could Be Magic is a very sweet and uplifting graphic novel. Tabitha is so hopeful and optimistic, her character makes for a character you want to root for. I like how body positivity is portrayed and the growth of the side characters.

This was very cute, but one thing that bugged me was how the mcs looked down on the people who only worked at the park for the money. They gave me major Disney adult vibes.
The art style was outstandingly pretty.
Thank you to the publisher for the free review copy.

This graphic novel was cute and had a very fun plot. I would definitely recommend it to my library's patrons and it's a must-buy for public libraries.

This was such a cute comic. Not only do I love it for it's inclusion and overall story surrounding a theme park (which I love), it was also just an overall beautiful story. Making sure to chase your dreams and never give up on the magic you see around you is something I think we could all benefit from.

I gave this a three out of five stars, I enjoyed this story and I liked the art style as well. I definitely a Disney kid would love reading this graphic novel. The plot was sweet and cute. Growing up I would have loved to have read this. I do feel like this should have been longer than it was and have it not be so rushed in some parts.

First and foremost, thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group | Feiwel & Friends for providing this ARC copy in exchange for my honest review

⚝ Rating ⚝: 4✩ / 5✩’s
⚝ Review ⚝: What can I say, really? This was cute and fun and a great look into body positivity for young readers. While yes, this is very obviously a reference to the young worker/actor programs for a certain well known largely beloved theme park (right down to the use of optical illusions and hidden character symbolism throughout the park), it was still a fun read and I absolutely devoured it in one sitting.
Some reviews mention that it seemed Tabi, throughout the story, wasn't aware of why people were telling her she shouldn't or couldn't be a royalty actor, but as someone someone who has been chubby since I was a little girl, Tabi absolutely knew and there were several points you could tell from her expression she knew, but simply didn't want to face the reality up until she was completely exhausted and beaten down by the stark contrast between reality vs. dream.
Still, it was fun and sweet and I enjoyed the characters (at least the ones that were meant to be enjoyed).
⚝ Illustrations⚝: Beautiful, expressive, vibrant and colorful, stunning, stylistic.
⚝ Representation ⚝: Several BIPOC characters, both MC and SC, Queer SC
⚝ TWs ⚝: Fatphobia

A cute YA graphic novel set in a Disney-like theme park. Tabi cannot believe her luck, getting to spend the summer working in the most magical place on Earth, Sommerland. Maybe she'll even find her true love there. She can't wait to audition for a coveted role as one of the park's princesses. When her audition doesn't go quite as expected though, she attempts to keep her sunny disposition while working at one of the food stands. Nothing will stand in the way of her dreams.
I've always been a fan of Marissa Meyer, and this quick romantic graphic novel was no exception. I enjoyed Tabi as a protagonist. The message of body positivity was great and the love interest was so cute. The art is colorful and perfectly fits the setting. Would recommend.

I love graphic novels, and I definitely need more for the classroom. I love Meyers and she's an auto-buy author for me, so I already knew I would love it. And as a Disney girly, I loved the whimsical, cozy feel of the book. Tabi had my whole heart. I loved this body positive romance.

This was cute, cute, cute! I absolutely loved this story and the way Tabi overcame all the obstacles between her and becoming a princess at Sommerland. Along the way she makes new friends and learns that she's great just the way she is.

This was so adorable!! I absolutely loved the art, and the characters were so sweet! I would definitely recommend this cute summery graphic novel with Disneyland vibes! I think a lot of people will enjoy this book if they love Disney theme parks.

Marissa Meyer has done it again! Such a fun story! The art and the text went together beautifully. Loved the disney/not disney feel. The message was beautifully portrayed without diminishing the magic of the place and the characters. I love that someone was willing to put this out there that there are no plus size princesses and honestly there should be. There is no reason that a princess couldn't be "normal sized". While I love that we are getting real proportions with Moana we are not there yet.

I'm always on the lookout for new graphic novels, so I was excited to see this new book from Marissa Meyer and Joelle Murray. This one hooked me right away with its theme park setting, and I loved getting to go behind the scenes as Tabi chases her dream of working as a princess, even though things don't always turn out as she expects. The art is cute and colourful, and it really brings Sommerland to life. This is a perfect summer read with a great message and plenty of Disney vibes.

This was such a a cute graphic novel. I loved the message and also the sweet friendsip/ romance at the heart of this one. I also loved the message about following your dreams even when it seems impossilble I also loved the focus on self discover and i had such a fun time. I really fun read for all, but espically middle and high school kids, it has a lot of conversations and it was a rather heart warming read!!

This story is super cute! Tabitha dreams of being a princess performer at a theme park, inspired by the stories she’s loved since childhood. Unfortunately, she’s not what they’re typically looking for in those roles. But when something unexpected happens, and she steps in with the help of a friend, things take a magical turn. Even though she ends up in trouble, something amazing comes out of it. The art is beautifully done and captures the magic of the park and the wonder of the story.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc!
This was a cute graphic novel centered around a girl whose dream is to be a character at the Sommerland parks. (Which is basically Disney with another name) I enjoyed the graphic novel overall, I just wish we would have gotten more background in Sommerland. This place was so captivating for the Tabitha but completely foreign and never explained to the audience. I know that wasn’t the overall point of the story, but it would have added to the enjoyment of reading it.
This book was a fun wholesome read with beautiful graphics.

Art style was adorable and I like the message a lot, it will really resonate with young dreamers. The faux disney and their rules is interesting as well
