This is such a great book!

The Magic Fish is a graphic nov, and I absolutely love the art style! Its movement and flow is breathtaking, and the color schemes for each arch of the story is such a clever choice. 

This is an endearing story about a young boy who realizes he is gay and his journey in coming out to his parents. 

I would absolutely recommend!
