"In this follow-up to The Year My Life Turned Upside Down, we follow 15-year-old Franny as she now has to have her life uprooted for the second time in a year, and this time she is moving to Japan to follow her father as he continues his research there. Far away from anything she knows, Franny deals with cultural differences as best as she can, with varying levels of success. She is able to find some respite when she befriends the super cute son of her dad's boss, who also attends her new school. Told in diary format with illustrations on every page, readers will connect with Franny's honest and humorous travails which include everything from the everyday worries of making friends at a new school to the heightened feelings of missing her best friend ex-boyfriend back home, while also realizing she may have feelings for another boy. Never mind the secret her father has been keeping from her for who knows how long!"--

"Franny is a feisty 14-year-old with a gift for turning her thoughts and feelings into drawings. She lives in Montreal with her father, a sewing machine repair man by day and inventor by night. When he's invited to pursue his research in Japan, Franny is sent to a small town far away from Montreal and all her friends. She will meet a part of her family she has never heard of before and will have to adapt to a new school and a new life. Soon, she will discover that this is the town where her mother lived before she died, when Franny was very young. This leads Franny to investigate the mystery behind her mother's death and discovers a terrible truth."--
