Reviewed summary
Gene Luen Yang’s "American Born Chinese" weaves together a mythical Monkey King, a Chinese-American teen struggling to fit in, and a cringe-worthy stereotype come to life. It’s a sharp, clever graphic novel that digs into what identity really means when culture and adolescence collide. Ready for a story that’s equal parts magic, humor, and uncomfortable truths?
