The Japanese edition of Sidetracked

Out for sushi with Sidetracked’s Japanese publisher, translator, editor and literary agent, (and husband, Henry), in Tokyo, Japan!

My nametag and program. Honored to attend the 65th National Youth Book Report Contest in Tokyo, where Sidetracked was one of three books recommended for Junior High Students by the Japanese School Library Association.

At the reception with translator, Hiroko Taketomi and two students, Naoki and Sora, who won awards for their essays on Sidetracked.

Haruto, another proud award winner and Sidetracked fan.

In the paper! Co-sponsor of the award, the Mainichi Newspapers Co. interviewed award-winner Naoki and me.
