Description
Eleven-year-old Nhia "Silver" Lee's brother convinces her to join the talent show and showcase her storytelling know-how. There's just one problem: she's got a serious case of stage fright! Can Nhia overcome her fears and take home the top talent trophy? Or will her anxieties upstage her act? Written by Sheelue Yang, this graphic novel is a darkly humorous, normalizing exploration of coming-of-age anxiety through the lens of an authentic pre-teen girl.

Karen Donnelly is a British illustrator with many years' experience in fiction and non fiction. She grew up loving to draw pictures for the books she was reading and still can't believe that she gets to do it for real! She works in a very, very untidy basement studio, in the company of her grumpy Scottie dog.
