Pashmina by Nidhi Chanani

I'm so excited about this beautiful graphic novel about a mystical shawl that leads an American girl on a voyage to meet her relatives in India. The book alternates between black and white and color to show when the magical pashmina is in charge. Anyone could enjoy this story, but it will especially appeal to students who are first or second generation Americans. Priyanka's voyage of discovery comes full circle in a wonderful way and I don't want to say any more and ruin the story. (Don't miss the glossary in the back if you don't understand all the Indian terms.)
