highschool boy in library eats chips with roachs in them

For Hoàng Khang, a 12th grade student facing a choice for the future, the pressures of making a living always weigh heavily on him because he was raised by his grandmother's small chè (Vietnamese dessert) stall and he doesn't want his grandmother to worry anymore. Meanwhile, Quốc is a warm-hearted guy who always tries to take care of Hoàng Khang with everything he has, but it seems that Hoàng Khang always rejects Quốc's feelings. Where will the youth story of Hoàng Khang and Quốc go?

After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie, Vern, Chris and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.
