Synopsis
High-school student Lorrie is feeling pretty down about life. Bullied for her vitiligo, a rare skin condition that effects 1% of the world’s population, she skips out on school regularly and is especially nervous about P.E. and swimming, where her body is most exposed. Her teachers don’t seem to understand and treat Lorrie with disdain but when she discovers a talking, elaborately patterned goldfish in a fishtank in one of their offices, Lorrie’s life takes a sharp turn. Desperate to escape the confines of his tank, the wisecracking fish asks his new friend for help in finding his freedom. A modern fable with clever writing, Calico is a superbly entertaining and fast-paced way to show how embracing our differences can boost our self-esteem open our minds to new friendships.
