Synopsis
Chan Kim has never felt like an outsider in his life. That is, not until his family moves from L.A. to a tiny town in Minnesota--Land of 10,000 Lakes--and probably 10,000 hicks,too. The Kims are the only Asian family in town, and when Chan and his twin sister, Young, attend high school, it's a blond-haired, blue-eyed whiteout. Chan throws himself into the only game in town--football--and the necessary roughness required to make a player. On the field it means "justifiable violence," but as Chan is about to discover, off the field it's a whole different ballgame . . .Chan Jung Kim has always been popular. But that was when he lived in L.A. and was the star of his soccer team. Now his family's moved--to a tiny town in Minnesota, where football's the name of the game and nobody has ever seen an Asian American family before. Desperate to fit in, Chan throws himself into the game--but he feels like an outsider. For the first time in his life, he finds himself thinking about what it really means to be Korean--and what is really important. By turns gripping, painful, funny, and illuminating, Necessary Roughness introduces a major new talent and a fresh young voice to the Harper list. 1997 Best Books for the Teen Age (NY Public Library) 1998 Best Books for Young Adults (ALA)Chan Jung Kim has always been popular.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Necessary Roughness -- by Marie G. Lee (1998)

    I bought this book for my 9th grade son because we couldn't find it anywhere in our area. The library copies were all checked out & had a waiting list. He choose this book for his book report. He liked it. He said it was very good. Some times I didn't even have to ask him to read, he just did it. That a lone tell me it must be interesting. It's about racism, along with sports, mainly football, which he loves. If your child like sports, especially football, this book would be a great fit.
