What-a-Bummer Camp
From the Set The Nhia Normal
Eleven-year-old Nhia is nervous about summer camp in this installment of The Niah Normal graphic novel series.
Eleven-year-old Nhia “Silver” Lee is headed to summer camp. Unfortunately, she’s packing her nerves along for the trip. Can she build a fire? Will she be able to fall asleep in a tent? And what if the other campers don’t like her? This Hmong American girl will need to overcome her own self-doubt to make summer camp less of a total bummer. Written by Sheelue Yang, this graphic novel is a darkly humorous, normalizing exploration of coming-of-age anxiety through the lens of an authentic preteen girl.
