Tokyo Dare is stopping by the Goddess Fish Party Pavilion! Here's a excerpt to give you a taste of what's in store when you read this YA contemporary story.
***
A Japanese guy in his
early twenties with a mop of long hair and a goatee blocked my way. Dressed in
a black leather jacket and skinny jeans, all he needed was a guitar, and the
rocker look would be complete. I stood speechless. He was the kind of guy that
never talked to me back home.
He stretched out his hand
and said. “Names Kenzo.”
I managed to squeak out,
“Erin…. Um… American who’s totally lost.” Just as I was about to let go of his
hand, water dripped down my arm onto his watch.
“Hey, I know it’s a
sizzling summer but you’re soaked.”
“I had a little accident with a water bottle.”
His eyes moved up and down
my body like a scanner. “I can see that.”
His stare confirmed I
still looked like a wet T-shirt contestant.
“I was headed
to Seda Academy and got lost. I couldn’t find anyone who could speak English to
help me. Until… you.”
“You don’t
speak any Japanese?”
“Only five words.”
I gave him a smile and said in Japanese, “Excuse
me, eat pretty idiot.”
The trailer for Tokyo Dare was featured on USA Today.
