9:23Now Playing“The Best at It,” the semi-autobiographical debut novel by author and actor Maulik Pancholy, explores Rahul Kapoor’s journey to self-acceptance and self-love in the 7th grade in a small Indiana town. “The Best at It” masterfully balances serious topics with breezy, first-person writing -- for its intended audience of 8 to 12 year-olds. You don't need to go very far below the surface to find a story that deftly explores mental health, sexuality, and what it means to be a minority. While it may seem ambitious to tackle all three of those topics at once -- the end result is heartbreakingly authentic and poignant.
