imagination and trademark artistry to the graphic novel format in a

ordinary girl. Their growing friendship inspires Fish Girl's longing for
freedom, independence, and a life beyond the aquarium tank. Sparkling
with humor and brilliantly visualized, Fish Girl's story will resonate
with every young person facing the challenges and rewards of growing up.
