Story about a nerd. A fuckin' arrogant nerd. It is a typical love story. Bad thing: it makes fun of goths. In a childish way and it is clear that the writer has never met a real goth. I'm no goth, but I hate it when they make fun of a whole lifestyle and act like their lifestyle is better. The story is crap and predictable. A bit amusing, but not that good.
Nelly Sue Edelmeister learns to play basketball, copes with a major crush on Prince William, makes a true friend, and finds meaning in becoming a bat mitzvah in this funny and touching novel that takes place in modern Berlin.
Nelly lives in Berlin with her American mother and German father. Her mother expects her to have a bat mizvah, but Nelly is more interested in the cosmos and Prince William. A very touching story .
