This book, a finalist for the 2006 National Book Award, presents three interrelated stories: the legend of the Monkey King; the grade-school travails of a young, second-generation Chinese-American named Jin Wang; and the encounter between an entirely assimilated boy, Danny, and his visiting Chinese cousin and walking ethnic stereotype, Chin-Kee.
