Publisher Comments:

You're twelve years old.A month has passed since your Korean Air flight landed at lovely Newark Airport.Your fifteen-year-old sister is miserable.Your mother isn't exactly happy, either.You're seeing your father for the first time in five years, and although he's nice enough, he might be, well--how can you put this delicately?--a loser.

You can't speak English, but that doesn't stop you from working at East Meets West, your father's gift shop in a strip mall, where everything is new.

Welcome to the wonderful world of David Kim.

Synopsis:

Relocating to America with his unhappy mother and 15-year-old sister, 12-year-old David Kim reunites with the father he has not seen in five years while working in the family strip-mall gift shop, an endeavor during which he harbors a secret shame about what he believes to be his father's character flaws.
