Animal Crackers: A Gene Luen Yang Collection
<ul> <li>The early work of Gene Luen Yang, author of <i>American Born Chinese</i>, is collected in this special edition containing Gordon Yamamoto and the King of the Geeks, and Loyola Chin and the San Peligran Order, plus an all-new story by Yang. <i>Animal Crackers: A Gene Luen Yang Collection </i>tells two stories of two very different young people who encounter the extraordinary while living their ordinary lives. Gordon, a sweet but not very deep-thinking high school student, has his life as a bully disrupted when a tiny alien aircraft lodges in his nostril. Meanwhile, Loyola must question her surety in her intellect when a junk-food-fueled dream encounter with a powerful alien being forces her to ask if it's better to be smart than virtuous. </li></ul>
