Book Club & American Born Chinese

Our Book Club meets every other Tuesday morning @ 7:05 and during the lunches! We have a great time discussing a wide variety of books. Our format is really flexible and informal; you are never required to read what anyone else does! We usually pick a different genre to read each month or so. Sometimes several of us will read the same book. This month the book some of us will be reading is American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. It's a fabulous graphic novel about coming to terms with one's identity. It won the Printz Award in 2007. Here's the author discussing his book in a YouTube Video.
