A young witch will die in a year, unless she can collect enough tears of joy.

This one surprised me with how much I enjoy it! It really did not shy away from difficult topics— children dying, environmental devastation, the use of technology, medical ethics, etc. I especially liked how it didn’t try to find an answer for them but also didn’t avoid them.

Great characterizations too— Meg is a bit of a dumbass but a lovable one.  Her friends are great too. I especially liked her childhood friend (they had great chemistry together) and the quiet one.
