Originally posted on Instagram, this young adult graphic novel details the author's childhood immigration to America with his family, through the lens of particularly meaningful food and meals. Thien's first memory isn't a sight or a sound. It's the sweetness of watermelon and the saltiness of fish. It's the taste of the foods he ate while adrift at sea as his family fled Vietnam. After the Pham family arrives at a refugee camp in Thailand, they struggle to survive. Things don't get much easier once they resettle in California. And through each chapter of their lives, food takes on a new meaning. Behind every cut of steak and inside every croissant lies a story. And for Thien Pham, that story is about a search - for belonging, for happiness, for the American dream! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

A middle grade graphic memoir following a young girl who undergoes a crisis of conscience, realizing that she is a 'bad sister.' Being older is better. Being older is power. Charise knows this, and she isn't afraid to use that knowledge. Whether it's her favorite toy car, affection from the family cat, or time to sit on her mom's lap, Charise gets what she wants. She doesn't mean to hurt her little brother, Daniel, in the process, but if he stands in her way, he's going to get what he deserves. Of course, just because Charise is older than Daniel doesn't mean that she is wiser than him. In fact, if Charise can learn to open her heart before she hurts him in a way that she can't take back, she might discover that her little brother has the greatest power of all.

In 1988, journalist David Simon was given unprecedented access to the Baltimore Police Department's homicide unit.
