FRESH OFF THE BOAT
Book ID/图书代码： 11640005B04653
English Summary/英文概要： 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. And my new boyfriend. He looks exactly like Tobey Maguire (from Spider-Man, not Seabiscuit). We’ll be the hottest couple at the Soirée!
I miss you!! xxxooo,
V.
Okay, so Vicenza isn’t 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 Caligari’s ignored geometry partner is sort of fun, but Vicenza would rather be his girlfriend ... or at least his date to the annual fancy-schmancy Soirée d’Hiver. Instead, she’s stuck going with scrawny family friend Freddie in an outlet-purchased, coupon-reduced dress that is nothing short of disaster!
But Vicenza won’t be friendless, fashionless, or "fresh off the boat" for long -- it’s only a matter of time before she sees what’s right before her eyes, and her luck begins to change.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 亲爱的Peaches：
美国真实太好了，我真的喜欢这个地方，我希望你也能够来这里玩，我们可以一起去市场街购物，你还可以认识认识我在美国这里的新朋友，当然还有我的新男友，他看起来就和托比·马奎尔(是蜘蛛侠里的那位，不是“奔腾年代”里扮演的那一位)。我们一定会成为晚会上最火热的一对！
好了，其实Vicenza还没有把美国这里的情况向家乡马尼拉的好友，也就是你-Peaches全盘托出。但是想想看刚到目空一切的格罗夫纳女子高中读书该是多么的有趣，或者说到“基督教救世军”那里去搜刮乱七八糟的开士米毛线衫，或是被新文化震慑的不知所措尴尬的毫无头绪的人做父母？也许和Claude Caligari一起搭档做几何学题目是相当快乐是一件是，但是Vicenza却更希望能够做他的女朋友，或者说至少可以在奇幻派对上做他的对象。但是事与愿违，她不得不与和她们家有世交的骨瘦如柴的，穿着到名牌特价店用优惠券买来的，简直称不上是一条裙子的Freddie一起出去，他实在推托不了。
但是这样无依无靠、土里土气的或者说新移民的状态不会持续太长，可爱的Vicenza没多久就觉得事情开始进入正轨，运气也开始向她招手。
