YA
As the only Vietnamese kid in school (and twice-adopted at that), Dixie Nguyen has always been an outsider. He risks outright social suicide after embarking on an undercover journalistic mission to figure out who's supplying the football team with hypodermic needles--and why. Readers entertained by the numerous one-liners about breasts, penises, and poop may be gratified by Dixie's (misguided) investigation.
