I really loved this graphic novel, it was a very uplifting and positive book! Tabi is a wonderful protagonist and it was so healing to see her find her way throughout the book. I just wanted to give her a big hug 🥹

It was a very wholesome graphic novel, and it was a quick read! I picked it up because of Marissa Meyer, but the art style was so pretty too. It encapsulated the magic of Sommerland, and it brought the graphic novel to the next level.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

I would like to thank Macmillan for an eARC of this book.

This was a really nice and heartwarming book and I also loved the illustrations!

Perfect for people who were obsessed with Disney and things like Winx club when they were younger.

Even cuter and more adorable than I'd expected! With a great message about courage, perseverance, and kindness, this sweet read was filled with hope from beginning to end. As a past annual passholder, I particularly loved the nods to the Magic Kingdom, but Sommerland also felt like its own real place with a magical lore I wanted to know more about. I almost didn't want this story to end.

We could be magic was super delightful. I enjoyed the messaging of the novel and was cheering for Tabitha the whole time. Tabitha kept going after her dreams and didn't give up. I can't wait to read more from Marissa Meyer's.

I adored this book/comic.
Tabitha loves Sommerland (Think Disney). She attended the park as a child and idolized the princesses at the park. When she became an adult she obtained a summer internship to work at the part. She learned quickly that as nice as the idolized vision of the park is, behind the scenes you deal with grumpy coworkers, rude guests, hot weather, and more.

This doesn’t stop Tabitha from pursuing her dreams of being a character actor and making people smile.

I really enjoyed this. It’s light hearted but has a good message of perseverance.
Additionally, there is a great amount of representation.

This was a fun read.

We Could be Magic is sweet as a fudge pop on a hot sunny day! This graphic novel is quick to read, but full of empowering lessons about working hard, taking risks, and never giving up on yourself. I really enjoyed it, and although the age of the characters puts it in the new adult range, I wouldn’t hesitate to share this with my tween. I really enjoyed the art style as well.

Thank you NetGalley for this graphic eBook arc. As a theme park girlie, I’m obligated to read this.
- Super cute, the author has DEFINITELY worked for the mouse, or heard the nitty gritty of how it works because the details were spot on
- A bit short, but a fun sugary sweet story. A total joy to read.

This was my most anticipated read of the year and it was absolutely amazing!! It completely broke my book slump that I’ve been dealing with for months. Tabi and James are the definition of adorable and I loved their story so much. I can’t wait to for this to come out so I can get a physical copy. This book just filled me with so my joy and happiness!

i thoroughly enjoyed this book and am so glad that there was a happily ever after. it really gives off the magic vibes that tabi was searching for.

as someone who has been overweight her whole life and never seeing characters with my body type, i really felt for how tabi felt when everyone said she wasnt fit for the role. it broke my heart especially experiencing similar situations firsthand. but her getting a happy ending makes it seem possible for me too!

i will definitely pick up the physical book when it’s released because i adored the story and characters and the art style sooooo much. i will be recommending this to everyone.

Gosh, this book was magical!! I started tearing up at the end, it made me so happy!!!

Gorgeous artwork that just flies off the pages. A classic Marissa Meyer story that has so much heart and love written in to it. She knows how to write a story and it was of course perfect. I love love LOVED Tabi James and Kyra!

This has an adorable romance, as does all Marissa's books! (If I read a book of hers and you don't see me giggling and kicking my feet at the romance, THAT IS NOT ME THAT IS AN IMPOSTER!!!) All her romances are perfect, Tabi and James are no exception! Very adorable and just so soooooo cute!

Also I'm so happy Marissa wrote about a curvy girl getting to play a princess. It warmed my heart so much. It's so incredibly important to get to see yourself as the main character in movies books and all media and Im so glad she pushed that message here with this fantastic graphic novel. Movie companies take notes!!!


This book is for anyone that dreamed of being a princess growing up! This book is for everyone that wants to have themselves reflected on the screen! This is for people who chase their wildest dreams and wish on a star that it comes true and fights for it too. I hope you all get your happily ever afters!!

Marissa Meyer blew this one out of the park--the amusement park. I absolutely loved Tabi as a FMC. It was wonderful since her growth childhood into a young adult. Also, I liked how Meyer introduced the different people and personalities at Sommerland, including showing those who were passionate about the work they were doing and those who weren't. I liked how Tabi tried to stay positive throughout the whole process even when others tried to tarnish her hopes and dreams. James was a fantastic MMC and I was excited to see their happy ending as well as seeing a happy ending for Tabi's parents. I don't want to spoil too much, so I'll say that I loved how Winda learned from Tabi and how stunning Tabi looked. Joelle Murray did a fantastic job with the artwork. Everything was beautiful and the depiction of the park was astounding.

Thank you to Netgalley and MacMillan Children's Publishing Group for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute graphic novel! I loved the look at the inner workings of amusement parks, especially one similar to Disney. I absolutely loved Tabi and how infectious her love of the park and its characters was. She was such a delight. I loved the body positivity so much as well. The illustrations were so whimsical and fit the story perfectly. Anyone who loves amusement parks (especially Disney) will enjoy this sweet and magical story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Feiwel and Friends for an advanced reader’s copy!

SO CUTE. give me all the fat princesses.

Tabi has dreamt of working as a character actor at Sommerland for basically forever. She believes in the magic and true love of the park and can't wait to help folks find that magic. But when she gets there for her summer job, a job at the nacho stand isn't what she had in mind.

It becomes fairly clear that Tabi doesn't look the way that Sommerland wants its characters to look and Tabi really is trying to find a way through to still give people the magic she knows exist.

With a new crush and a new friend, will she be able to change hearts and minds?!

Also, the artwork in this is STUNNING. there's so much detail that it's truly remarkable and you want to spend a few minutes on each page finding all the little details.

Side note, the level of feral I would be for a canonically fat Disney princess would be off the charts. I feel like as we're slowly, so slowly, getting more representation within Disney movies, fatness is not something people are willing to embrace. It's honestly really heartbreaking and I genuinely hope that we can experience a future where fat people are allowed to be wherever they want to be, princesses and all.

Fun graphic novel for any Disney lover. Sweet story with fun theme park vibes that's nostalgic for any dreamer.

I just finished an amazing book, and despite the multitude of amazing releases yesterday, I turned to my ARCs to see what I should read next, and I was certainly not disappointed!

Tabi Laurie makes a bisit to Sommerland as a child which saves her belief in true love amidst the divorce of her parents. Now she's grown up and has been selected for a Sommerland internship at this very same park. Here, she can make magical memories for other kids, guests, and superfans just like her. No matter how much Tabi lives for the Sommerland magic, she doesn't fit the park's idea of a princess. Or does she? With the support of some new friends, a new crush, and a little magic, she just might find that her happily ever after might actually be within her reach.

I am such a sucker for a good graphic novel, and the artwork for this one is very well done. It lends whimsy to such a cute story, full of dreams and magic, just as we would imagine for these characters working in the happiest and most magical places. While this is a young adult graphic novel, I certainly feel like it would be an excellent read for most any age. I grabbed a hardcover copy so my daughters and I can read it together. The ending left it open for sequels, so I certainly hope we hear more from Tabi!

A graphic novel perfect for fans of the most magical place on earth. At only six years old, Tabi witnessed her parents going through a divorce, nearly losing all hope in love. That is, until she went to the Sommerland park, met her favorite princess, and had her hope restored. Now that she's in high school, she's determined to keep the dream alive by becoming a summer intern for the park & work as one of their princesses. This light romance also touches on inclusivity & body positivity without being overbearing with its message

This was such a wholesome story that just left me feeling so happy! I devoured this book with a smile on my face the entire time. Tabi is a wonderfully relatable character, and I loved her story. From the plot to the art, I found myself practically saying "awww" out loud. I loved all of the little details, like the hidden kitties, and not pointing with one finger (things that felt like an obvious nod to a real life mouse-run kingdom). I would be first in line if there were more books like this one -is it too much to hope for a series!?! I need to revisit Sommerland ASAP.

Tabi's story about fulfilling her dreams of playing Princess Madeline at Sommerland is incredibly heartwarming. This book encourages everyone, both young and old, to pursue their dreams despite their fears. As a former Disney child (now a Disney adult), the references to Disney World resonated with my inner child and filled me with excitement to return with a fresh sense of wonder.

What impacted me most about Tabi's journey was the representation of plus-size characters. Although the plot moved quickly, I believe this topic was handled with the grace and attention it deserved.

If you're looking for a wholesome story with a sweet romance, this graphic novel is the perfect choice for you.

This is so cute! I read this coming back from a Disney trip so it was even more magical. The story had a great message and as being a big disney fan, I noticed all the connections and inside nods. Highly recommend! I don't read many graphic novels but this is so sweet.

Such a cute graphic novel! We Could Be Magic is perfect for Disney lovers with a romance set between 2 teens working in a theme park. I loved the side plots about body positivity and thought all of the tiny theme park references were really fun. The art style is also delightful!

Thanks to Marissa Meyer, Macmillan Children's, and NetGalley for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!
