Fashion and fun are foremost on her mind as she arrives ready to meet her new host family and embark on a grand adventure, livestreaming all the way. Sixteen and on top of the world, Lily’s BEYOND excited to be setting off for an entire year as an exchange student in Tokyo. So grab your passport, and let’s go to Japan!Īuthor: Loren Greene Pages: 332 Genre: Contemporary YA Publication: 2021 The story is a stand-alone, so don’t worry if you haven’t read anything else. This is the second full-length novel in the Sakura+Maple series that brings Japan and Canada together. Now that I’ve taken all the jokes out of my system – probably not! – time to focus on the book I bring to you today: Edokko by Loren Greene. She's shipped off to the small town of Ajimu (sorry, where!?), a billion miles from anywhere cool and exciting, with a neurotic host sister, no chances for romance, straight-up-vile classmates and a microscopic community watching over her every move.Happy April Fools’ Day!! Despite today being a day you can’t trust anything people say, trust me, I’ll not be pulling any pranks on you. What Lily isn't expecting, however, is for her urban host family to cancel at the last moment and leave her hanging with nowhere to live.
Sixteen and on top of the world, she's beyond excited to be setting off for an entire year as an exchange student in Tokyo. I still miss it very much.Īvailable now in paperback and ebook format It's a joy to see it finally in print, and the publishing process brought me back to those early days (don't miss the cameo of the Japan Foundation's Japanese-Language Institute Kansai, where incoming Osaka JETs gathered for language lessons when we first arrived!) and the ups and downs of expat life.
I began working on Edokko when I was newly back in Canada and truly felt the sting of leaving Japan behind. Last Monday, my second novel launched in paperback and as a Kindle Unlimited exclusive. Yikes, it's been a while! I'm so sorry not to have much to share these last few months - or rather, I have tons, but have been so caught up I haven't written any of it!
