"American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang
This is a great story, well, actually 3 stories in 1. Jin Wang is the only Chinese American at his school and he hates it. Then there’s the monkey king, who hates being a monkey and wants people to think of him as god. And finally there’s Chin-Kee, who is Danny’s cousin and embarrassing Danny to death at school. Great kung-fu fight scenes. This book won the Printz award!
