Zen and the Art of Faking It


By Jordan Sonnenblick
(YA F Sonn)
264 pages. 2007 Humor/Realistic Fiction


When San Lee, age thirteen, moves for the umpteenth time, he seizes the opportunity to reinvent himself to keep from being picked on. Having just studied religion at his former school, and because he’s Asian, classmates believe he’s a Buddhism expert. His Zen-like plans seem flawless until the fearless, outspoken, wild-haired, guitar-playing Woody enters his life. (Grades 6 & Up)
