(4) 4-6 As the only Asian kid in town, Chloe has endured years of microaggressions. But as she discovers halfway through this pointed school comedy, she and her parents are not Korean American but actually aliens, refugees from an exploded planet. Sure, it's preposterous, but even while the sci-fi is really too much for the novel's already full plate, Jung has a light touch with serious themes.
