About this item
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.
