Tokyo Ever After

It's easy to compare this book to The Princess Diaries, but frankly it's more than that. It's made of beautiful, vivid writing, with a fiercely charming lead, and a city (Tokyo) coming to life itself on the page. It will speak in particular to those who feel out of place or torn between two worlds, while offering hope and fun and wonder. Yes, there's romance, but there's so much more, and Izumi may well be any reader's new favorite princess.
