(2) YA The new student at Rucher High begs for spare change in the cafeteria and asks to be called by his "spiritual name," Jinsen. Most of the kids call him Buddha Boy. When narrator Justin is assigned to work on a school project with his new classmate, he discovers that Jinsen is a gifted artist. Subtle characterizations and a stream-of-consciousness prose style give the novel an original, offbeat voice.
