Synopsis
When Misako comes to the U.S. as an exchange student from Japan, she is overwhelmed by all the differences - the people, the culture, the indigestion! But with the help of her kind host family and their daughter, Natalie, she quickly becomes acclimated to her American high school. Misako's world is turned upside down the night she meets Zac, the lead singer of a rock band. Zac is gorgeous, and his songs move Misako to the core. She falls for him hard, but Zac has lots of groupies and is much too flirtatious to trust as a boyfriend. So, Misako suppresses her feelings and becomes his friend instead. But then Zac starts to give her mixed signals. Should she risk her friendship to tell how she feels? Based on the auhor's own experiences, this is an exuberant and funny tale of all the ups and down of first love. Rock and Roll Love was awarded "Best Teen's Book" by the New York Public Library.
