Book Blab @ Stevenson H. S.

Review by Faith L

Mr Wise – period 7

The book I read was Kira – Kira by Cynthia Kadohata. It is about a young girl named Katie Takeshima and her family. Her older sister, Lynn, is the one who teaches her everything. To Katie, Lynn is perfect in every way. As their Japanese family struggles in a white community, Lynn gets very sick. Katie remembers the first thing Lynn had taught her, the word kira kira. It means glittering and shining. Katie and her family try to get through the hardship. Her parents told her that hitting was the worst thing u can do. Stealing would be the second, and lying the third. Katie would have committed all three things.
