A swoon-worthy young adult graphic novel about a girl's summer job at a theme park from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer.
When Tabitha Laurie was growing up, a visit to Sommerland saved her belief in true love, even as her parents’ marriage was falling apart. Now she’s landed her dream job at the theme park’s prestigious summer program, where she can make magical memories for other kids, guests, and superfans just like her. All she has to do is audition for one of the coveted princess roles, and soon her dreams will come true.
There’s just one problem. The heroes and heroines at Sommerland are all, well… thin. And no matter how much Tabi lives for the magic, she simply doesn't fit the park's idea of a princess.
Given a not-so-regal position at a nacho food stand instead, Tabi is going to need the support of new friends, a new crush, and a whole lot of magic if she’s going to devise her own happily ever after. . . without getting herself fired in the process.
With art by Joelle Murray, the wonder of Sommerland comes to life with charming characters and whimsical backdrops. We Could Be Magic is a perfect read for anyone looking to get swept away by a sparkly summer romance.

Every illustration captures the magic of the story in an eye-catching and endearing way. Definitely a nostalgic read for any Disney college program alum or an inspiration for DCP hopefuls.
I love this read. It was easy, not complicated, while still having big feelings and big plot points. It felt good to watch the main character grow up and realize that passion alone will not help us achieve our dreams, we have to put in the time, effort, and determination to make your dreams happen. And sometimes even when we work hard and make things happen, our dream still isn't right for us. So we have to change our dream and refocus, make things happen.
What a story. Absoltely enamored with the whole book.
