Pashmina
by Nidhi Chanani
Priankya is a high schooler with a love of comics and many lingering questions about her family's past. Why did her mother leave India for America, never to return? What is India really like? And who is her father? The only relatives Pri has in the US are her aunt and uncle, but they are expecting their own first child and have less and less time for her. Pri feels completely cut off from her heritage- until she discovers a magical pashmina scarf that magically transports her to an brightly-colored India of myths and talking animals. But a dark shadow lingers under the magic of the pashmina, and when Pri finally gets the chance to visit India for real it is nothing like she expected. A delightful YA/middle grade comic which perfectly balances the flights of fantasy with the heavier subjects.
