"All Jin Wang wants is to fit in. When his family moves to a new neightbourhood, he suddenly finds that he's the only Chinese American student at his school... Born to rule over all the monkeys in the world, the story of the Monkey King is one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables... Chin-Kee is the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, and he's ruining his cousin Danny's life.... These three apparently unrelated tales come together with an unexpected twist, in a twenty-first century fable that is hilarious, poignant, and action-packed."-- adapted from page [4] of cover."Alternates three interrelated stories about the problems of young Chinese Americans trying to participate in popular culture. Presented in comic book format."-- title verso page.
