Product Description

When eighth-grader San Lee moves to a new town and a new school for the umpteenth time, he doesn't try to make new friends or be a loner or play cool. Instead he sits back and devises a plan to be totally different. When he accidentally answers too many questions in World History on Zen (only because he just had Ancient Religions two schools ago) all heads turn and San has his answer: he's a Zen Master. And just when he thinks everyone (including the cute girl he can't stop thinking about) is on to him, everyone believes him . . . in a major Zen way.

About the Author

Jordan Sonnenblick has always been fascinated by Zen Buddhism and the practice of meditation. However, he has never actually been able to meditate due to his well-documented lifelong inability to sit still or be quiet. He lives with his serene wife and two half-wiggly, half-calm kids in Pennsylvania.
