Shadow of the Dragon
Sixteen-year-old Danny Vo is caught between two cultures-the American world of his Houston high school and his Vietnamese home life. Life gets even more complicated when Danny’s cousin Sang Le comes to live with them after spending years in a reeducation camp in Vietnam. Failing school and unable to get a job, Sang Le joins a Vietnamese gang. Danny must also contend with another dangerous gang-the white supremacist skinheads that his new girlfriend’s brother belongs to.
“Excellent characterizations and a complex, believable plot are blended into a moving story of the immigrant experience.”—Booklist

Wow - you can feel the conflict already. This book sounds really good - so many books I want to read. I have got to find a way to make more reading time, lol! By the way, there is a blog award for you today over on my site. Stop by if you get a chance!
