Abstract
The Magic Fish is told in a series of fairy tales – different versions of Cinderella and the Little Mermaid – which reflect the lives and emotions of the two main characters, Tien, a 13-year-old boy living in America, and his mother, a refugee from Vietnam.
This book does something special: it takes different themes (LGBTQ, Vietnam refugees, coming of age) set in different locations and different times, and tells a story that is very easy to follow and understand. Each scene is color coded: America is pink, fairy tales are blue, and Vietnam is yellow, so the story is not confusing at all.

Description
My two cents: The characters tell a German version and a Vietnamese version of Cinderella, and you will be surprised by both!
