Annotation: Two boys and a monkey king experience change. In the end all their problems merge together and leave us with the same characters having the same problems. The winner of the 2007 Michael L. Printz Award.
Summary: Imagine three story that merges together to become a lesson for everyone. That is what American Born Chinese is about. Read about the Monkey King, and two boys that are having their own sets of problem and how together, they learn an important lesson. Evaluation: The book was in comic for so it was easy and quick to read even though it had an important message in it. The downfall of the book was that everything happens in on mash up so you will get confused. Also, there was a bloody picture so I didn't appreciate it. There was some violence so it was not my personal favorite.
