Momo wants nothing more than to be normal and have a normal mom, but she discovers that her weirdness is an incredible gift. Readers will greatly enjoy following her on an incredible journey of friendship, family roots, and self discovery, all intertwined with Japanese mythology mixed with humor and emotion. The story covers topics such as bullying, changes in friendships, grief, mental health, adoption, race, and how to handle emotions.
