Cute story: San Lee doesn't really practice Zen, but through a series of events his classmates begin to believe he's a Zen master, and he can't figure out how to tell them the truth. At it's core, this is a story about being honest and being yourself.

Jordan Sonnenblick is one of my very favorite YA authors. His books feature kids that the average middle schooler can relate to. The books are funny without being inappropriate; clean without being dumbed-down or condescending. Sonnenblick was a middle school teacher once, and you can tell he really understands that age group.
