Inhaltsangabe

Mika Arlington has her perfect summer all planned out. After years of tending the fish tanks in her local pet store, she;s finally getting to work with her marine biologist parents at the city;s aquarium. But then nothing goes as planned.

First, her parents have to cancel her placement. Then, she gets lumbered with training impossibly annoying and sullen Dylan, her boss;s nephew. Finally (and worst of all) her long-lost grandmother shows up on her doorstep. But this is no happy reunion. Turns out the reason grandma has been long-lost is because she;s a flat-out racist and she hates Mika;s Japanese mother. In fact, she;s generally just a fairly unpleasant human being. But then she drops another bombshell - she has Alzheimer;s and literally nowhere else to go.

Told with Natalie Whipple;s signature whip-smart wit and warmth, this is a story about prejudice, growing up and the true meaning of sticking by your family.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Natalie Whipple is the author of TRANSPARENT, BLINDSIDED (sequel to Transparent), HOUSE OF IVY & SORROW, and RELAX, I'M A NINJA. In addition to that, she is on the writing team for the cRPG 'TORMENT: TIDES OF NUMENERA' that will be out sometime in 2015.

She grew up in the Bay Area and relocated to Utah for high school, which was quite the culture shock for her anime-loving teen self. But the Rocky Mountains eventually won her over, and she stuck around to earn her degree in English linguistics at BYU, with a minor in editing. Natalie still lives in Utah with her husband and three kids, and keeps the local Asian market in business with all her attempts to cook Thai curry, pho, and bulgogi.
