OLDER FICTION
Yee, Paul

Learning to Fly

(4) YA Orca Soundings series. Recent immigrant Jason Shen is ostracized from his predominantly homogeneous community. The stoner crowd provides companionship, and Jason doesn't realize the trouble they'll bring him. In Jason's world, adults are unrealistically cruel--"In this country, you reply by speaking!" yells a teacher--and teens get little support. The fast-paced, easy-to-read drama may appeal to mature reluctant readers.
