* "...the entire cast of this novel is fully developed. The breezy and natural writing style captures eighth-grade dialogue perfectly and the plot is both realistic and original. San Lee's story is that of a brilliant and amusing underdog, and middle schoolers everywhere will identify with his desire to be someone..." — School Library Journal, starred review
"Adolescence is a time when teenagers ask the all-important question, 'Who am I?,' but for San Lee, an adopted Chinese boy starting eighth grade in a new school, the question has particular urgency. Luckily, Sonnenblick pens this story, so all that soul searching is side-splittingly funny as well. Hilarious and heart-wrenching" — Kirkus Reviews
