Review:
American Born Chinese is made up of three individual plot lines: the Chinese folk hero Monkey King, Jin Wang, a lonely Asian American middle school student and Danny, an All-American teen. Each story works well on its own, but when they are intertwined at the end, I was very disappointed. I loved finding out what happened to each character throughout the story, yet when they converged at the end, I was left wanting to go back and reread to see if there were any clues that the plot was going in that direction. I did not see the foreshadowing at all. Overall, a fun graphic novel and it would even be good for teachers who are discussing stereotypes.site to check out: First Second - Catalog - American Born Chinese A.B.C
