Their accents are fluid. Their homes are ridiculously posh. Their sports games often involve a (private) plane trip to another country. They miss school because of jet lag and visa issues. When they get in trouble, they seek diplomatic immunity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Enter foster-kid-out-of-water Elle Zoellner, who, on her sixteenth birthday, discovers that her long-lost father, Kenji Takahara, is actually a Japanese hotel mogul and wants her to come live with him. Um, yes, please! Elle jets off first class from Washington, DC, to Tokyo, which seems like a dream come true. Until she meets her enigmatic father, her way-too-fab aunt, and her hyper-critical grandmother, who seems to wish Elle didn't exist. In an effort to please her new family, Elle falls in with the Ex-Brats, a troop of uber-cool international kids who spend money like it's air. But when she starts to crush on a boy named Ryuu, who's frozen out by the Brats and despised by her new family, her already tenuous living situation just might implode. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy Almost Flawless Tokyo Dream Life\u003c\/i\u003e is about learning what it is to be a family, and finding the inner strength to be yourself, even in the most extreme circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lbyr Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781368021142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Rachel Cohn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52732254716085,"sku":"9781368021142","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/my-almost-flawless-tokyo-dream-life-9781368021142","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
