Description
As Chinese New Year approaches in San Francisco’s Chinatown, a twelve-year-old boy wrestles with his embarrassing name, his place within his family, and the cultural history he is only beginning to understand. Through vivid dreams, school experiences, and encounters with relatives and community traditions, he confronts the gap between stereotypical images of Chinese Americans and the richness of his own heritage. Witty, energetic, and deeply humane, the novel explores identity, belonging, family, and the power of reclaiming a history often overlooked.
