{"product_id":"the-magic-fish-a-graphic-novel","title":"The Magic Fish: (A Graphic Novel)","description":"NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR by New York Public Library • Kirkus Reviews • Booklist • Publishers Weekly\n\nIn this gorgeous debut graphic novel, fairy tales are the only way one boy can communicate with his Vietnamese immigrant parents. But how will he find the words to tell them that he’s gay? A powerful read about family, identity and the enduring magic of stories.\n\n“One of the most astounding graphic novels of the year\" –Entertainment Weekly\n\nTien and his mother may come from different cultures—she’s an immigrant from Vietnam still struggling with English; he’s been raised in America—but through the fairy tales he checks out from the local library, those differences are erased.\n\nBut as much as Tien’s mother’s English continues to improve as he reads her tales of love, loss, and travel across distant shores, there’s one conversation that still eludes him—how to come out to her and his father. Is there even a way to explain what he’s going through in Vietnamese? And without a way to reveal his hidden self, how will his parents ever accept him?\n\nThis beautifully illustrated graphic novel speaks to the complexity of family and how stories can bring us together even when we don’t know the words.\n\n“A lyrical masterpiece.” –BuzzFeed\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1984851594\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1984851594.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nguyen, Trung Le\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in acceptable condition.
