Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen

Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOKS OF THE YEAR by the New York Public Library - Kirkus Reviews - Booklist - Publishers Weekly

In this gorgeous debut graphic novel that Entertainment Weekly calls astounding, fairy tales are the best 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 to celebrate Pride Month about family, identity and the enduring magic of stories.

Tien 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.

But 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?

This 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.

A lyrical masterpiece. -BuzzFeed
