"Caucasian applies perfectly to Sorano (Skye) - Asian hiding in a word meaning white." Skye is crushed when her Japanese father and her American mother inform her that will have to attend Saturday Japanese classes instead of playing on the All Star soccer team. Hiroshi is equally disappointed when his Japanese parents tell him are moving from Japan to Washington, D. C. to live near Skye and her parents so that his grandfather can receive critical medical treatment. This is a heartwarming story infused with Japanese culture, traditions, and competitive kite flying.
