April Book Club: A Magical Girl Retires

We’re switching up our book club and meeting at the NCMA park! (Weather permitting). Bring a blanket or lawn chair and let’s discuss “A Magical Girl Retires.” Synopsis below:

“A Magical Girl Retires by Park Seolyeon is a Korean novel about a depressed, 29-year-old millennial who is recruited to be a magical girl to fight climate change, blending the fantasy genre with realistic struggles like debt and unemployment. The story follows the protagonist as she navigates the mundane and bureaucratic reality of being a magical girl, using a credit card as her wand to combat real-world problems, and is praised for its witty, relatable take on the genre and its social commentary.”
