Izzy tiene una vida normal hasta que un día descubre que es...
¡la princesa heredera de Japón!
Izumi Tanaka siempre se ha sentido fuera de lugar -realmente no es fácil ser una chica americana de origen japonés en el pueblecito más remoto de Carolina del Norte-. Izumi, Izzy, ha crecido con su madre y juntas son un equipo inseparable. Pero cuando Izzy descubre una pista sobre quién podría ser su padre, a quien no ha conocido nunca…, su vida cambiará como nunca se podría haber imaginado convirtiéndose en la princesa heredera de Japón.
Izzy pronto se encontrará atrapada entre dos mundos y entre diferentes versiones de sí misma. ¿Se derrumbará bajo el peso de la corona o vivirá su cuento de hadas?
Si te despiertas un día
con tu mundo del revés…
Puedes quedarte quieta
o lanzarte a descubrirlo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Princess Diaries
meets
Crazy Rich Asians
in Emiko Jean’s
Tokyo Ever After
, the irresistible story of an ordinary Japanese-American girl who discovers that her father is the Crown Prince of Japan!
Izumi Tanaka has never really felt like she fit in—it isn’t easy being Japanese American in her small, mostly white, northern California town. Raised by a single mother, it’s always been Izumi—or Izzy, because “It’s easier this way”—and her mom against the world. But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity…and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is
literally
a princess.
In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she never knew and discover the country she always dreamed of. But being a princess isn’t all ball gowns and tiaras. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight.
Izumi soon finds herself caught between worlds, and between versions of herself—back home, she was never “American” enough, and in Japan, she must prove she’s “Japanese” enough. Will Izumi crumble under the weight of the crown, or will she live out her fairy tale, happily ever after?
