Svetlana Chmakova
A sweet tale about two kids
navigating the precarious and
awkward waters of adolescence and
middle school.
Penelope—Peppi—Torres, a shy new
transfer student, wants nothing more
than to fit in and find a place among her
fellow artistically inclined souls. The last
thing she wants is to stand out. So when
she bumps—literally—into quiet,
geeky, friendly but friendless Jamie
Thompson and is teased as the “Nerder
Girlfriend,” Peppi’s first embarrassed
instinct is to push him away and run.
Though she later feels guilty and wants
desperately to apologize for the incident,
Peppi always ends up chickening out. She
has no reason to speak to him, anyway,
until she ends up bumping—figuratively
and continually—into Jamie again! Will
these two opposites ever see eye to eye,
let alone become friends?

There’s no shortage of bizarre
characters in Ikebukuro—read the
light novel series that started the
anime and manga phenomenon!
The Ikebukuro district in Tokyo is full
of interesting people. A boy longing
for the extraordinary. A hotheaded
punk. An airheaded pseudo stalker. An
information broker who works for kicks.
An underground doctor who specializes
in truly desperate patients. A high school
student infatuated with a monster.
And a headless rider on a pitch-black
motorcycle. Their story may not be a
heartwarming one, but as it turns out,
even weirdos like these sometimes fall in
love.

Summary
The goal of the Yen Press rating system is to provide parents, librarians, and retailers with as much
information about the contents of our books as simply and concisely as possible. Ultimately, opinions
about appropriateness of content for a particular reader are a subjective matter and likely to vary from
person to person. However, this is a useful tool to give readers some sense of what they may expect.
Yen’s ratings are structured in two tiers: age ratings (A, T, OT, M) and content indicators (L, V, S, N).
Age ratings indicate a maturity threshold below which some parents or guardians may find the content
unsuitable. Content indicators provide insight as to the material within the book that prompted a
particular age rating. The frequency and/or severity of that material is reflected in the age rating.
AGE RATINGS
All Readers
An “A” rating indicates that the material contained within the book has been deemed unlikely to
be found inappropriate for any particular age group.
Teen
A “T” rating indicates that there may be content within a book that some parents or guardians
may consider inappropriate for children under the age of 13.
Older Teen
An “OT” rated book contains material that some parents or guardians may consider
inappropriate for readers under the age of 16.
Mature
An “M” rated book is intended for a mature readership and may be considered inappropriate for
readers under
age of 18.
