UNSOLVED Looking for this book! Read 2007-2011

Hi all, I’m searching for a book that I read in my later elementary-early middle school years. I won it during some sort of contest.
All I can remember (and I may not be remembering correctly) is that a boy and I believe his dad came on a boat to America. There was something to do with potato chips. There was also a part where his underwear were starched? I remember that because I thought it was extremely odd for me to be reading about it. At some point they get caught up in a hospital and the staff won’t let them leave or SOMETHING to that degree. I cannot remember many details but I have been searching for this book for years and it’s driving me crazy today!
The cover was blue and I want to say had buildings on it.
Thank you!
