Jackie Lee is thirteen years old, was adopted from China by Texan parents, and has been kicked out of six progressive learning environments in seven years. Last month, on a school field trip to San Francisco's Chinatown, the chef of an unsuspecting restaurant turned out to be a dragon — and Jackie's grandfather, who he had always thought of as just a quiet man who smelled of menthol and gave him socks for Christmas, turned out to be the Kitchen God.
