Xing is a loner who doesn't fit in at school and when a rash of disappearances rattle the town, suspicion is immediately cast in his direction. The author, Andrew Fukuda, half-Chinese and half-Japanese, was inspired to write Crossing by the experiences of the immigrant teenagers he worked with in Manhattan's Chinatown.
