Book Description

" Three stories intertwine: Teenager Jin Wang is embarrassed by his looks, his culture, and his family. He longs to be more like the other kids in his school: white-skinned, blue-eyed, and popular. Danny, a white-skinned, blue-eyed kid with a weirdly embarrassing Chinese cousin. The Monkey King, an ancient trickster hero in Chinese folklore.

In this oddly -told graphic novel, we learn that Jin Wang, Danny, and the Monkey King have more in common than you might think...including an interesting fondness for transformer toys.

This book was awarded the 2007 Prinz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature."
