In his latest graphic novel, Dragon Hoops, New York Times bestselling author Gene Luen Yang turns the spotlight on his life, his family, and the high school where he teaches.

Gene understands stories―comic book stories, in particular. Big action. Bigger thrills. And the hero always wins.

But Gene doesn’t get sports. As a kid, his friends called him “Stick” and every basketball game he played ended in pain. He lost interest in basketball long ago, but at the high school where he now teaches, it's all anyone can talk about. The men’s varsity team, the Dragons, is having a phenomenal season that’s been decades in the making. Each victory brings them closer to their ultimate goal: the California State Championships.

Once Gene gets to know these young all-stars, he realizes that their story is just as thrilling as anything he’s seen on a comic book page. He knows he has to follow this epic to its end. What he doesn’t know yet is that this season is not only going to change the Dragons’s lives, but his own life as well.

吉恩能读懂故事，尤其是漫画书里的故事，大行动，英雄总是胜利的。但吉恩不喜欢运动。小时候，他的朋友们都叫他“棒子”，他参加的每一场篮球比赛都在痛苦中结束。他很久以前就对篮球失去了兴趣，但在他现在执教的高中，人人都能谈论篮球。男子大学代表队“龙队”经过几十年的酝酿，正在经历一个非凡的赛季。每一次胜利都让他们更接近他们的终极目标:加州冠军。一旦吉恩认识了这些年轻的全明星，他意识到他们的故事就像他在漫画书上看到的一样令人兴奋。他知道他必须追随这部史诗到它的结尾。他还不知道的是，这一季不仅会改变球队的生活，也会改变他自己的生活。

吉恩·联扬（Gene Luen Yang）撰写，有时绘制漫画和图画小说。他的第一本来自《第二人生》的图画小说《美国出生的中国人》获得了Printz奖。他的两卷插图小说《拳击手与圣徒》（Boxers＆Saints）获得了洛杉矶时报图书奖。他的其他作品包括Secret Coders（与Mike Holmes合作），The Shadow Hero（与Sonny Liew合作），DC Comics的《新超人》（与多位艺术家合作）以及Dark Horse Comics的The Avatar：The Last Airbender系列（与Gurihiru合作） 。他是第五届青年文学全国大使，并于2016年被任命为麦克阿瑟基金会研究员。
