Some families are made not by blood, but by choice. New city, again. New language, new school, new people. Another place where he doesn't belong. Chen Kehuan is a boy adrift: has no real homeland and no friends or family to speak of, and so he doesn't care much for anyone. Until one day, out of nowhere, that carefree street child appears next to him, and as their paths cross time and time again, his outlook on life starts to change. Little Niki roams around the city, making things out of nothing and talking to strangers on a whim. How long before some disaster befalls her? But then that older boy who doesn’t even speak her language takes it upon himself to turn her world upside-down. Her life is transformed, but whether the change is for the better or for the worse...only time will tell.
