Three seemingly unconnected stories come together in this award winning graphic novel. Jin Wang has moved from Chinatown and is struggling to fit into his new white suburban neighbourhood. The Monkey King, being the most powerful monkey in the world wants to increase his status to God. And Danny, a popular basketball player, finds his social status at risk when his cousin, the ultimate of negative Chinese stereotypes, enrolls in his school. These unconnected stories unite with a surprising ending.
