Jason's few acquaintances help him discover that a little bit of pot certainly helps make his life more bearable. He knows his mother would never approve, but she doesn't pay enough attention for it to be a real problem. As his frustration with working at the deli for nothing and taking the odd twenty dollar bill from his mother's purse becomes more of a hassle, Jason thinks maybe becoming a dealer would offer enough money and product to keep him satisfied.
However, this new deal also comes with complications, and they might be more than Jason can handle. His characters and their life struggles ring true and are likely to connect well with teen readers. Written in a fast-paced, easy-to-read style, this book should be successful with reluctant readers. Sally Kruger, aka "Readingjunky".

They expect him to speak bad english and to be stupid. I can connect this to the world. There are a lot of deli's with immigrants and they are often disrespected.

Apr 20, R. Decent book; too short. It has finally occurred to me that this is part of Orca's reluctant reader series, and short on purpose!
Upping my review because I am definitely glad this series exists. This picture depicts his rough journey in a new place he has never been: All he dreams about is going back to China, his home.
