Mt. Pleasant Reads

The Magic Fish

Come read with us!

This month we'll be reading the award-winning graphic novel The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen. 

A magic ring. An evil stepmother. A girl and a prince. A sacrifice for love- and a wish for belonging. Tiên and his mother read fairy tales aloud in the evenings so she can practice her English. They read stories of magic wishes and worlds full of wonder, far from the ordinary life Tiên and his parents live. But stories have a powerful magic of their own- one that can bridge language, time, and culture. In sharing these stories, can Tiên and his family find their own happily ever after?" -- Provided by publisher
