DESCRIPTION
Once comfortably middle class in Korea, John and Helen Koh and their three children, Bo, DH, and Mido, see their lives upended by a betrayal and the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Searching for stability and opportunity, the family leaves Seoul for Sydney before eventually settling in Southern California.
As the Koh family adapts to life across three countries, parents and children confront questions of ambition, sacrifice, belonging, and the belief that education can provide the next generation with security and success. American Hagwon follows the family and the people around them through years of shifting fortunes, relationships, and expectations.
From Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko, this sweeping family saga explores immigration, education, class, family obligation, and the pursuit of a better life.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
