Asking the River a Novel by David Kherdian

I agree with the last reviewer(copykat).I too question how while trying to make it through elementary school in Racine,Wisconsin,a thirteen-year-old Armenian American boy must come to terms with his heritage.His parents' expections,and his own uncertainty about what he wants from life.Though I was really impressed how David Kherdian had this experiance in life and decided to write a novel about his childhood.It was amazing how his life sounded like a total drag and all.I truley liked this book and would recommened it to many children.
