The sisters from The Queen in the Cave (rev. 9/22) are at odds, and middle sister Carmela is sad enough to play “Walk Until You Can’t Walk Anymore.” Her travels take her to a witch’s tower, where she feels at home brewing potions, flying, and summoning other witches—and her improved mood carries over to her return home. The fanciful story is grounded in real emotion, allowing for satisfying moments of witchy self-actualization. Striking digital illustrations, perhaps appropriately dreamlike, make engagingly varied use of the space.
