Genre: YA graphic novel, realistic with fantasy elements
Nana (pronounced "Nah-na") gets in trouble at school for fibbing . . . only she's telling the truth! When her parents decide to send her to Ghana for the summer to spend time with her grandma, she's disappointed. She wanted to attend a writing camp with her friend.
In Ghana, she learns about stories, truth, wisdom, and ananse the spider. Even I've heard of Anansi! I find it difficult to believe a girl from a Ghanian family wouldn't know about him.
It's a lovely story, but will be donated. Perhaps to Joshua's elementary school? I like the tagline, "the most magical stories are the ones that are true."
