Summary |
Foster-kid-out-of-water Elle Zoellner, discovers on her 16th birthday that her long-lost father, Kenji Takahara, is actually a Japanese hotel mogul and wants her to come live with him. Elle jets off first class from Washington to Tokyo, which seems like a dream come true. Until she meets her enigmatic father, her way-too-fab aunt and her hypercritical grandmother, who seems to wish Elle didn't exist. And then there's the International Collegiate School of Tokyo, attended my the foreign-born teen elite. When they get in trouble, they seek diplomatic immunity. In an effort to please her new family, Elle falls in with the Ex-Brats, a troupe of übercool 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. |
