I just finished reading American Born Chinese, a graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. Although I had never read a graphic novel (nor was I planning on doing so), I had to because it was assigned in my adolescent literature class. The novel contains three different stories that cleverly weave together in the end. It contained a lot of humor and had an important message about accepting who you are and overcoming the desire to fit in. I highly recommend it!!

One of my favorite pages.

Thank you for mentioning this book. I've never heard of it but I'm definitely interested (as one who teachers and other kids thought I came from a place like China when I was in elementary school). I'll have to go out and buy a copy...though I'm not big on graphic novels (however, I wish they had these when I was a teenager...I would've read more).
