This book mixes three different stories to combine as one overall book about how it is like being the An Chinese American boy. All story are mixed together so all one sees is the bites and parts until the end. The first story is the famous Chinese Fable, Journey to the West, but just with the Monkey King trying to teach morals. Then the second story, where the main character Jin Wang is introduced at age 9 as his family moves. It details his life from childhood until the end of middle school with his best friend Wei-Chein. Then the third story of Danny who is finally gets a visit from his cousin, Chin-Kee who he tries to avoid by changing schools every year before his visit. Overall a fun and interesting book and ride.
