Crossing by Andrew Fukuda
4.0
Crossing is a very well written YA mystery about a teenage Chinese immigrant who feels at odds with society and stifled by racist expectations. He is consumed with jealousy and longing for the only other Asian student, a girl called Naomi Lee, and feels he is invisible to everyone unless they want to blame him.
When students at his high school go missing, Xing (also goes by Kris) becomes the lead in the school musical and then the lead suspect - but is he just the victim of racist stereotyping?
A great plot which grips the reader and a fabulous use of the unreliable narrator. Do we believe Kris?
Personally, I don't but it is anyone's guess. What a great read!
