Synopsis:

Ti n loves his family and his friends...but Ti n has a secret he's been keeping from them, and it might change everything. An amazing YA graphic novel that deals with the complexity of family and how stories can bring us together. <p/>Real life isn't a fairytale. <p/>But Ti n still enjoys reading his favorite stories with his parents from the books he borrows from the local library. It's hard enough trying to communicate with your parents as a kid, but for Ti n, he doesn't even have the right words because his parents are struggling with their English. Is there a Vietnamese word for what he's going through? <p/>Is there a way to tell them he's gay? <p/>A beautifully illustrated story by Trung Le Nguyen that follows a young boy as he tries to navigate life through fairytales, an instant classic that shows us how we are all connected. The Magic Fish tackles tough subjects in a way that accessible with readers of all ages, and teaches us that no matter what--we can all have our own happy endings.
