Don't cause trouble / Arree Chung.

Do not cause trouble (other title)
Chung, Arree, (author,, illustrator).

Summary:

Twelve- year-old Ming Lee hopes middle school will be the fresh start he needs. But stepping into school with the same bowl haircut his mom insists on giving him, and wearing the extra-discounted thrift shop clothes she buys him doesn't quite make for the first day of his dreams. Things only get worse when he's placed in an ESL class despite English being his first (and only) language. The journey ahead is full of awkward, painful, and downright embarrassing moments. Ming's dad always tells him, Get good grades! Don't cause trouble! But with two new friends by his side, and a few tricks up his sleeve, Ming is determined to make some changes.
