I love Brume! The whole adventure was absolutely delightful, and I look forward to reading more adventures. I kept thinking, as I read this, that it reminded me of a cartoon or family-friendly movie. I hope one day this is turned into a fun Pixar film. It was a fantastical, funny, and wholesome story about a witch, her pet pig, and the dragon she sets out to conquer.

At the end of the book, the authors describe their village in France, and their inspiration for this book, which I also enjoyed. I think it's inspiring to see where other writers get their ideas and hope that children will enjoy their journey as well.

YES yes yes. A much needed graphic novel for kids looking for witch graphic novels! I can't believe I have to wait unitl September to get this book in the hands of eager middle graders.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a cute, funny and quick little read 🥹. I enjoyed it so much.
You follow a little adventurous girl, Brume, in her dream of becoming a real life witch. She has always looked up to the famous village witch, Naia, but Naia disappeared over 7 years ago and hasn’t been seen since. With the village witchless and without a protector, Brume has decided, she is going to take on the job herself…or at least try. Join our little magical spitfire friend on her journey to all things magical in Vol 1 of Brume.
I love this so much. Brume is so lovable and funny and who doesn’t love a cute animal companion. As someone with a pet pig I adored Hubert. I can’t wait to see what other shenanigans they get up to.
If you are a parent looking for a fun new read for your kiddos or even if you’re an adult just looking for a quick cute read to enjoy then pick up Brume.

I first stumbled across Brume at the Comics Museum in Brussels and was disappointed to learn it wasn’t available in English at the time. So imagine my delight to see it finally getting an English release! This graphic novel is a charming, whimsical story about a young girl who is determined to prove she’s a witch and maybe even the protector her village needs. Brume, along with her loyal pig Hubert and her best friend Hugo, makes for a wonderfully quirky trio. Their adventures are equal parts funny and heartwarming, and Brume’s determination to discover who she really is gives the story real depth. I can’t wait to follow them into Volume 2!

Brume is adorable! A feisty little witch, and her adorable piggy friend, up against superstitions, fog… and a dragon! Stunning illustrations that captivate and immerse the readers from the start. For older or younger readers! Perfect for a 6-10 year old independent reader, but my four year old loved the drawings and being read to. We can’t wait to read what’s next for Brume!

A precious graphic novel about a little girl who wants to be a witch more than anything, even if witches haven't existed in a long time. I loved the art style SO much in this book, and Brume's little facial expressions were spot on. Definitely ends on a huge cliffhanger so I'm looking forward to a sequel!

It’s bad luck to have a village without a witch!

Oh my goodness, this was absolutely adorable! I picked it because the illustrations were so cute and ahhh, it’s honestly cute the whole way through! Little witch Brume desperately wants to be the village witch after Naïa, the last witch (successor to Merlin), has vanished. Brume is convinced she is The Next Witch! A belief that’s solidified when she finds a sweet little pig that she’s certain is an old woman she’s hexed into being a pig. Poor dear Hubert, whom she calls Bacon Bit (our narrator), wants only to eat chocolate croissants, while Brume’s friend Hugo wants to be her witch’s assistant, and both are dragged into Brume’s hairbrained scheme to fill Naïa’s vacant role as village witch. To do this, Brume must prove she can do spells, brew potions and of course Defeat the Dragon! (Which Naïa purportedly put to sleep.)

I cannot wait to see where the next one goes. This was so, so cute and I loved the trio of Brume, Hugo and poor put upon Bacon Bit.

Highly recommend!

This was such a cute start to this fantasy story.
We kind of follow along in the POV of a pig who gets caught up in the adventure of Brume. Brume is a girl who wants to be a witch, but ever since Naia disappeared, there have been no witches. After thinking she turns an old lady into a pig, she thinks she's a real witch and keeps the pig as her assistant, along with her friend Hugo. When a spooky fog envelops the town (Brume's doing, unbeknownst to her), everyone thinks it's a dragon who has woken up so Brume goes in the forest to vanquish the dragon.
The first thing I want to touch on is the artwork. It was absolutely amazing. It was bright and colorful and immersive. The style really fit the story. I think it's one of my favorite art styles in a graphic novel I have read.
The characters were very cute. Brume was a little oblivious to literally everything and Hugo and Hubert (what she names the pig) are trying to pick up the pieces after her. Hubert is so funny. He was the narrator so in his head, he is telling Brume she's the reason behind the fog and he has to find the antidote and stuff. He really stole the show for me.
The plot was really fun too. It was quite short, but I really felt the story it was trying to tell was fully told. It also lead into the next volume really well, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Brume is a super cute story about a little girl who wants to be a witch told from the point of view of her pet pig. The characters are adorable and mischievous, and the art is fantastic! This is perfect for the Hilda crowd. I would definitely recommend this one for the older elementary/middle grade crowd!

Thanks to Netgalley, Jerome Pelissier, and Astra Publishing for the chance to read and review! My opinions are my own!

The book was adorable! Perfect for younger readers,but even as an adult I enjoyed it. The artwork is beautiful with lush colors reminiscent of anime.
The spunky little heroine of the story,Brume,is a bit of a mystery. An aspiring witch who may just be that. Along with her sidekicks(including the adorable pig,Hubert) off they go on an adventure,which of course includes a dragon.
The book ends on a cliffhanger - I'm looking forward to book two!

Such a fun story with the sassiest little witch and her pals. I loved this short adventure with a big task of saving their village, it was the perfect length to keep kids engaged without losing their interest along the way. The characters were cute and funny and often had me laughing out loud, that Hubert is quite the comedian. I appreciated the sweet connection she had with her dad and his gentle support of her dream to be a witch even if it seemed impossible. The illustrations were wonderfully detailed and beautifully depicted to add that bit of whimsy to their journey and full of so much life and colorful action it would draw anyone into Brume’s adventure. The sweet narration of Hubert was one of my favorite elements guiding the story in a clever way. I’m excited to read more of her spell worthy adventures and adored the informational addition at the end adding a bit of history to round out the foundation of who Brume is.
