Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

< p> Kimchi and calamari. It sounds like a quirky food fusion of Korean and Italian cuisine, and it's exactly how Joseph Calderaro feels about himself.

All he knows is that his birth family shipped his diapered butt on a plane to the USA. End of story.

(2) his proud Italian family.

And now Joseph has to write an essay about his ancestors for social studies. All he knows is that his birth family shipped his diapered butt on a plane to the USA. End of story.
