Everything Asian
This funny and occasionally heartbreaking novel takes you into the world of David Kim, a 12-year-old who has just emigrated from Korea to the United States. When David isn’t learning to speak English or working in his parents’ store, he’s forced to spend time with his sweet but dorky dad, whom he hasn’t seen in five years.
“I like how the author made it about teenagers’ lives and how they feel about all the problems that happen every day, like moving away from home and parents getting divorced.” – Karlene, 15, Cobourg, Ont.
