DescriptionNelly Sue Edelmeister is a skinny thirteen-year-old Berlin schoolgirl with thick glasses and a brilliant career in astronomy ahead. But that's before she discovers Prince William, and the odd, but oddly attractive, Maximilian Minsky - former New Yorker, full-out goth and basketball ace. Religion, family and her new crush are all set to collide and it seems like elderly family friend Risa - a survivor of Germany's darker past - is the only one who can keep Nelly sane...
