But now Grandma is heading down the road of Alzheimer's and has nowhere else to go, so Mika's giving up her internship and getting to know her grandmother. For the most part, Mika's dad has been estranged from his mother, who had a complete and utter freak out when her son decided to marry a Japanese woman. Mika works at AnimalZone-where's she a pro at all things fish-related-and is planning to spend her summer doing an awesome internship of her dreams where her parents work at Monterey Bay Aquarium.until some lady shows up at her door, and apparently, she's good ol' grandma Betty. I went into it expecting a story about a girl and a boy who work at a pet store and fall for each other, and instead got a story that deals with racism, Alzheimer's, and has a stinking cute romance. I absolutely adored this book and loved reading it. Fish Out of Water was the first book I read by Natalie Whipple, and it most certainly will not be my last.
