Award-winning author Minh Lê and New York Times bestselling
illustrator Chan Chau team up for a fun and enlightening graphic
novel about one kid's journey to finding inner peace and belonging.
Perfect for fans of Measuring Up and New Kid. When Bình fights
back against a bully who makes fun of his Vietnamese heritage, he
expects to be cheered as the hero. He defeated the bad guy, right?
Instead, it gets him a stern warning from his vice principal and
worried parents. Now he's stuck on a family trip to a silent
meditation retreat. That means no talking-and no video games!-for a
whole weekend. Could things possibly get any worse? However, when a
nun gathers all the kids to tell them the Jataka tales-the stories
of the Buddha's many past lives-Bình takes a fantastical dive into
his imagination and starts to see himself in these stories. Will he
retreat further into himself, or will he emerge from the weekend
open to change? With any luck, these next few days will prove more
enlightening than he thought.
