Title: American Born Chinese
Author: Gene Luen Yang
Genre/Format: Graphic Novel
Summary: In an action-packed modern fable about the problems young Chinese Americans face when trying to participate in American popular culture, the lives of three apparently unrelated characters--Jin Wang, Monkey King, and Chin-Kee--come together with an unexpected twist.
Mrs. Evans says: This book appeals to both fans of the graphic novel format and readers looking for a story about feeling uncomfortable in the skin we are born in. And who hasn't felt that way, especially as teenager! If you've had your doubts about how "serious" a "comic book" can be, this is a great starter for you!
