I really enjoyed this book. Now I may be totally biased because I enjoy seeing depictions of Buddhist youth in fiction, but I think that it's a great book regardless. The main character, San is an 8th grader who moves to a new school and tries to create a new identity for himself, and he decides to be a zen master. The book is pretty funny, and actually has a lot of good information on Buddhism too. I'd definitely recommend it!
