zen and the art of faking it

The main character in the book is a young boy named zen. He is the new kid in school and all he wishes is to fit in. Now zen has transfered to many schools just since kindergarten. And being the only asian in school, yah its not gonna be the best time of his life. so, to continue zen has picked a new identity to hold at every school he transfered to. But his only problem is what identity to choose!
So, throughout the book he is thinking about what identity to choose and what identities he's already covered. He's covered emo,prep,goth,western ect. And this time he chose SUPER ASIAN!
But, with this identity, things are not looking good for him. Trust me!

QUESTIONS: Will he get caught for what he really is? Why is he scared to be seen with his mom? Will the super asian identity work?

CONNECTION: My connection with the book is going to a new school. When i came to isaac i didn't no that many people. But overtime like zen i met everyone in the school. Now i cant imagine my life without everyone iv met in isaac.

REACTION: My reaction of the book is that its a total 10 out of 10. Its funny Cool and unlike any other book iv ever read. Also for me to love a book is odd because i hate books. But now, i kind of like them.
