APPARE-RANMAN!

HOW FAR I WILL BE ABLE TO GO? TO THE MOON? Appare Sorano's dreams are big--bigger than his village, bigger than the sea, bigger than the Earth itself. So when fate sweeps him away to Los Angeles without a penny to his name, Appare sees not catastrophe but an opportunity. Likewise, when he hears talk of the $1.51 million prize for the Trans-America Wild Race--a transcontinental trek through the American frontier--he jumps right into the thick of it, dragging a prideful samurai along for the ride. After all, how else is he supposed to get enough funding to fly himself to the moon?!
