A heartwarming and hilarious graphic novel about making friends, causing trouble, and being caught between the wishes of immigrant parents and the indignities of middle school. Twelve-year-old Ming Lee hopes middle school will be the fresh start he needs. But stepping into school with the same bowl haircut his mom insists on giving him, and wearing the extra-discounted thrift shop clothes she buys him doesn't quite make for the first day of his dreams. Things only get worse when he's placed in an ESL class despite English being his first (and only) language. The journey ahead is full of awkward, painful, and downright embarrassing moments. Ming's dad always tells him, 'Get good grades! Don't cause trouble!' But with two new friends by his side, and a few tricks up his sleeve, Ming is determined to make some changes.

Darrin Bell was six years old when his mother told him he couldn't play with a white friend's realistic water gun. 'She told me I'm a lot more likely to be shot by police than my friend was if they saw me with it, because police tend to think little Black boys-even light-skinned ones-are older than they really are, and less innocent than they really are.' Bell examines how 'the talk' has shaped nearly every moment of his life into adulthood and fatherhood. Through evocative original illustrations, The Talk is a meditation on this coming-of-age-as Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbors, and strangers, and thus of his mortality. Bell takes us up to the very moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and when he must have 'the talk' with a six-year-old son of his own.
