Product Information

Gene Luen Yang is the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. Jin Wang starts at a new school where he's the only Chinese-American student. When a boy from Taiwan joins his class, Jin doesn't want to be associated with an FOB like him. Jin just wants to be an all-American boy, because he's in love with an all-American girl. Danny is an all-American boy: great at basketball, popular with the girls. But his obnoxious Chinese cousin Chin-Kee's annual visit is such a disaster that it ruins Danny's reputation at school, leaving him with no choice but to transfer somewhere he can start all over again. The Monkey King has lived for thousands of years and mastered the arts of kung fu and the heavenly disciplines. He's ready to join the ranks of the immortal gods in heaven. But there's no place in heaven for a monkey. Each of these characters cannot help himself alone, but how can they possibly help each other? They're going to have to find a way--if they want fix the disasters their lives have become. American Born Chinese is a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature, the winner of the 2007 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album: New, an Eisner Award nominee for Best Coloring, a 2007 Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year, and a New York Times bestseller.

  • Good fun read

    The Graphic Novel has three separate stories. One about the Monkey King and how he became to be. Another about an Asian American living in America and how he assimilate to society. And finally, a story about a foreign student coming to America and living with an American family and he he interacts with American society. I do enjoy the later two stories because they're both more real and how they can happen in real life. Monkey King, however is something that didn't interest me as much. Instead of the graphic novel being split into three stores segments, it's more like a bunch of mini chapters between three story lines. This is well done because as much as I was bored with the Monkey King Chapters, It was a fast read because it was only a few pages long before the next chapter. ...

The novel is well crafted and deserves careful thoughtful reading. The ...

  • A Poorly Written Graphic Novel

    Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy this one. The writing made me cringe and the twist was so outrageous that I’m glad I didn’t see it coming because I hope my own stories are never similar to this.
