American Born Chinese

If you are ready to take on action, adventure, and humor all wrapped up into one book, then you are ready to read American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. If illustrations in books are something you crave, then don't suppress your appetite any longer because this book is written completely in comic strips! Do you enjoy fight scenes? Do you like to secretly indulge in the occassional love story? Do animals who know kung-fu and aren't afraid to use it sound interesting to you?

Mix in some ancient Chinese philosophy, add a foreign exchange student, and stir in a cute girl, and you will have all the ingredients you need for a great journey. Three different stories come together throughout this graphic novel, and are intertwined for an ending you will have to see/read to believe! Did I mention that someone even gets kicked in the...?
