After a foolish blunder lands our roly-poly hero in court, the judge metes out a harsh sentence: 60 days of community service, supervised by the peculiar, eccentric, and utterly madcap Mr. Keen. But when Chubby Chan sneaks into Mr. Keen's forbidden office, he stumbles upon the fantastical and upside-down world of Upsidonia! In this topsy-turvy land, Chubby Chan befriends A-Tom, an endearing football-shaped creature, and learns of a mission assigned to him by the ominous council known as the Great Assembly - to locate the elusive Great Door to return home. This kickstarts Chubby Chan's bizarre journey, full of peculiar characters such as the geometric R-Aptors, the elusive Shimmeratti, and the enormous Y-Me. Along the journey, he's joined by Bruce, a headstrong boy from his own world who's on his own path to redemption.

However, Upsidonia holds more secrets than Chubby Chan could have ever imagined. As reality melds with illusion, Chubby Chan begins to realize that his extraordinary trials are teaching him invaluable lessons about bravery, acceptance, self-belief, and viewing the world from different perspectives. Can Chubby unravel the mysteries of Upsidonia and find The Great Door before it’s too late? Can he ever return home? Overflowing with imagination and heart, this magical middle-grade adventure set in an ingenious upside-down world explores profound themes of personal growth and redemption amidst a backdrop of humor and fun.

Fresh Off the Boat
Author: Eddie Huang
Publisher: One World
ISBN: 067964489X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON ABC • “Just may be the best new comedy of [the year] . . . based on restaurateur Eddie Huang’s memoir of the same name . . . [a] classic fresh-out-of-water comedy.”—People “Bawdy and frequently hilarious . . . a surprisingly sophisticated memoir about race and assimilation in America . . . as much James Baldwin and Jay-Z as Amy Tan . . . rowdy [and] vital . . . It’s a book about fitting in by not fitting in at all.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS Assimilating ain’t easy. Eddie Huang was raised by a wild family of FOB (“fresh off the boat”) immigrants—his father a cocksure restaurateur with a dark past back in Taiwan, his mother a fierce protector and constant threat. Young Eddie tried his hand at everything mainstream America threw his way, from white Jesus to macaroni and cheese, but finally found his home as leader of a rainbow coalition of lost boys up to no good: skate punks, dealers, hip-hop junkies, and sneaker freaks. This is the story of a Chinese-American kid in a could-be-anywhere cul-de-sac blazing his way through America’s deviant subcultures, trying to find himself, ten thousand miles from his legacy and anchored only by his conflicted love for his family and his passion for food. Funny, moving, and stylistically inventive, Fresh Off the Boat is more than a radical reimagining of the immigrant memoir—it’s the exhilarating story of every American outsider who finds his destiny in the margins. Praise for Fresh Off the Boat “Brash and funny . . . outrageous, courageous, moving, ironic and true.”—New York Times Book Review “Mercilessly funny and provocative, Fresh Off the Boat is also a serious piece of work. Eddie Huang is hunting nothing less than Big Game here. He does everything with style.”—Anthony Bourdain “Uproariously funny . . . emotionally honest.”—Chicago Tribune “Huang is a fearless raconteur. [His] writing is at once hilarious and provocative; his incisive wit pulls through like a perfect plate of dan dan noodles.”—Interview “Although writing a memoir is an audacious act for a thirty-year-old, it is not nearly as audacious as some of the things Huang did and survived even earlier. . . . Whatever he ends up doing, you can be sure it won’t look or sound like anything that’s come before. A single, kinetic passage from Fresh Off the Boat . . . is all you need to get that straight.”—Bookforum
