Fresh Off the Boat

About this book

Dear Peaches America is PERFECT! I love it here. I wish you could come visit -- we could go shopping on Market Street and you could meet all my new friends. . . . Okay so Vicenza isnt being totally honest with Peaches her best friend back in Manila. But what fun is it being the new girl at snooty Grosvernor High? Or rooting through the Salvation Army for unholey cashmere sweaters? Or having culture-shocked embarrassingly clueless parents? Maybe being Claude Caligaris ignored geometry partner is sort of fun but Vicenza would rather be his girlfriend . . . or at least his date to the annual fancy-schmancy Soire dHiver. But Vicenza wont be friendless fashionless or "fresh off the boat" for long -- its only a matter of time before she sees whats right before her eyes and her luck begins to change.
