A tour-de-force by New York Times bestselling graphic novelist Gene
Luen Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently
unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his
family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student at
his school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and
greatest tales from Chinese folklore; and Chin-Kee, a personification of
the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin
Danny's life with his yearly visits. Their lives and stories come
together with an unexpected twist in a twenty-first-century fable that
is hilarious, poignant, and action-packed. First published in 2006,
American Born Chinese was soon hailed as a modern masterpiece of young
adult literature and established Gene Luen Yang as a leading voice of
his generation.
