Pashmina by Nidhi Chanani (Fiction: grades 4-8) Magic and mystery collide in this debut graphic novel by Indian-American illustrator Nidhi Chanani. Priyanka Das has so many unanswered questions: Why did her mother abandon her home in India years ago? What was it like there? Most importantly, who is her father, and why did her mom leave him behind? But Pri's mom avoids these questions—the topic of India is permanently closed. For Pri, her mother's homeland can only exist in her imagination. That is, until she finds a mysterious pashmina scarf tucked away in a forgotten suitcase. When she wraps herself in it, she is transported to a place more vivid and magical than any Bollywood film. Pri knows this world can't be the real India, but perhaps it can help her discover the truth.
