PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Brand-new first grader Ava Lin is determined to find a best friend—even if she’s a bit unclear on how to go about it—in this launch of a funny, super relatable chapter-book series.

Ava Lin is six and a half years old, and she loves bubble tea, finding treasures, and animals (note the 117 varieties of pets on her wish list). She’s very good at drawing and balancing pasta on her nose. And there’s a Very Exciting Thing happening in her life right now: tomorrow is her first day of first grade! Which means she gets a new backpack, new pencils, and a new lunch box. But what she really wants to get in first grade is a best friend, which isn’t as easy as she thought.

Ava’s quest has her navigating some confusing social rules, with unintentionally comical results—but she always manages to wriggle out of her mishaps in ways young readers will find very familiar. With an engaging text, humorous graphic panels, and black-and-white illustrations, Vicky Fang draws on her Chinese American family’s experience to create a heroine kids will instantly love.

Told through a combination of prose and grayscale illustrations (some in graphic novel–style panels), Ava’s story is a wonderful combination of laughs and drama that will keep young readers engaged—and eager to read future books in this new series. . . . A funny, charming series opener.
—Kirkus Reviews

Hilarious and endearing, Ava Lin is a worthy companion to beloved chapter book heroines like Dory Fantasmagory.

This is an adorable and hilarious start to a new chapter book series for early readers. . . charming and relatable.
