520    It's 2002 in Silicon Valley. 9/11's still fresh, the dot-
       com bubble has burst, and holy calamity is raining down on
       14-year-old Chad Loudermilk. His father is about to lose 
       his job, his mother isn't the same since Chad's grandma 
       died, and as one of the few black kids at tony Palo Alto 
       High School, Chad's starting to wonder about his birth 
       parents. Next door lives dot-com mogul Scot MacAvoy, with 
       his luxury SUV and his gardeners and his beautiful wife 
       and his time to play video games with Chad, all making the
       Loudermilk family's struggle to stay afloat seem that much
       harder. It's going to be a tough year for the Loudermilks.
       The Place You're Supposed to Laugh is wise and witty novel
       about the Silicon Valley that's not covered in the fawning
       features in The New York Times. It's a place where the 
       working class, blended Loudermilk family grapple with 
       issues of race and inequality, all while trying to keep a 
       smile on their faces. In the spirit of the works of 
       Celeste Ng and Angela Flournoy, this is a big-hearted page
       -turner that will make you laugh, cry, and think all at 
       once.
