When Tâm’s spy movie-obsessed schoolmate, Alex, discovers an abandoned backpack with a photo of a happy couple with Tâm’s address on the back, it will lead the two to discover a severed finger. Worried, Tâm searches for the desperate woman, aided by her reluctant brother, and eventually finds Hoa Bin, who escaped from her kidnapper — who’s still tracking her down. Drawn to Hoa Bin, Tâm vows to save her — even if she has to break her stern-but-loving mom’s rules, dodge the bad guys in wild chases through the Berlin streets, and combine the forces of Marina, the Nguyens’ tough-chick neighbor, Jutta, an elderly retired actress, a rollerblading girl gang, and many others to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Ross’s empathetic, loose-but-controlled lines, cartoonishly expressive kids interact against and within the realistically depicted urban environments, given texture and grit by screen-tones. Nirvana is Here is a contemporary crime thriller that has kid-detective, adventure, diasporic, coming-of-age, and love story elements, set in Berlin’s working-class Lichtenberg district against a backdrop of very current social issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OK Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57406602346870,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0382\/1803\/9340\/files\/9798875002649_800_540x_d26c3f73-d9d5-4dad-8aad-555b40f6e098.webp?v=1772662355","url":"https:\/\/okcomics.co.uk\/products\/nirvana-is-here-by-mikael-ross","provider":"OK Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
