American Born Chinese by Gene YangThis graphic novel maps out three individual plotlines:
A Monkey King sheds his humble roots and is revered as a god.
A child of Chinese Americans struggles to fit in at school.
A popular basketball player's life is interrupted by the arrival of his cousin.
At first, these stories seem unconnected - until they converge at the end in a stroke of brilliance.
