Jin Wang starts at a new school where
he’s the only Chinese-American student. When a boy from Taiwan joins his
class, Jin doesn’t want to be associated with an FOB like him. Jin just
wants to be an all-American boy, because he’s in love with an
all-American girl. Danny is an all-American boy: great at basketball,
popular with the girls. But his obnoxious Chinese cousin Chin-Kee’s
annual visit is such a disaster that it ruins Danny’s reputation at
school, leaving him with no choice but to transfer somewhere he can
start all over again. The Monkey King has lived for thousands of years
and mastered the arts of kung fu and the heavenly disciplines. He’s
ready to join the ranks of the immortal gods in heaven. But there’s no
place in heaven for a monkey. Each of these characters cannot help
himself alone, but how can they possibly help each other? They’re going
to have to find a way—if they want fix the disasters their lives have
become.
