The Nhia Normal

Set of 4 titles

Nhia "Silver" Lee is your average--totally normal--eleven-year-old. She's got a small-ish group of big-time friends, a sometimes-annoying but always-loving family, and a self-described "OK" talent for storytelling. Just one problem: All of these absolutely ordinary things bring her extraordinary anxiety. An overnight trip to visit her Hmong grandparents? Nonstop, heart-pounding stress. Starting a new school? Palm-sweating, gut-wrenching fear. Competing in a talent show? Full-on, faint-inducing panic. Fortunately, this introspective Hmong American girl won't let a little thing like paralyzing anxiety stop her. She's flipping the script. Confronting her anxieties one teeny-tiny, micro baby step at a time. And writing a new chapter to her own story. It might not be everyone's normal--but it's The Nhia Normal. Written by Sheelue Yang, this graphic novel series is a darkly humorous, normalizing exploration of coming-of-age anxiety through the lens of an authentic preteen girl.
