Zen and the Art of Faking It

(2) YA Eighth-grader San Lee is happy with his self-proclaimed Zen master persona until the deception undermines his relationship with a girl he likes. Sonnenblick's narrator is funny and articulate, and he makes a persuasive case that maybe the best way to fit in at a new school is to stand out. Comical scenes balance the harsher details of San's family life.
