Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko
In a little northern Japanese coastal town, Nikuko is bold, jovial, scattered, and passionate. Kikuko, her 11-year-old daughter, is her opposite. Kikuko, a string-bean child, is introspective, quietly curious, and methodical in her small harbor town life. As any mom of a preteen would, Nikuko embarrasses Kikuko, but her boldness makes her especially well-known in a community where Kikuko just wants to blend in. A devastating previous revelation threatens to uproot the pair's fragile connection as Kikuko navigates middle school social issues with magical realism from her imagination.
