Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata Book Summary

kira-kira (kee' ra kee' ra): glittering; shining
Glittering. That's how Katie Takeshima's sister, Lynn, makes everything seem. The sky is kira-kira because its color is deep but see-through at the same time. The sea is kira-kira for the same reason. And so are people's eyes. When Katie and her family move from a Japanese community in Iowa to the Deep South of Georgia, it's Lynn who explains to her why people stop them on the street to stare. And it's Lynn who, with her special way of viewing the world, teaches Katie to look beyond tomorrow. But when Lynn becomes desperately ill, and the whole family begins to fall apart, it is up to Katie to find a way to remind them all that there is always something glittering -- kira-kira -- in the future.
Luminous in its persistence of love and hope, Kira-Kira is Cynthia Kadohata's stunning debut in middle-grade fiction.

OMG!!!!. I love this book READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

Childhood Book. This is a book I found as a child and have always loved. It’s beautiful. Even as an adult I want to revisit this book and maybe even read it with my daughter now.

Beautiful and Emotional. My 3rd grade teacher reccomended this book to me and I immediately fell in love with it. I absolutely loved the story line and felt the characters. I really appreciate this book and reccomend it to people who like bitter-sweet stories. Some people may not like it because of the tear jerking plot. I really got attached to both Lynn and Katie as characters and admire their bond. The story has a great lesson on facing change. I really adore this book and think everyone who likes heartfelt stories would like it, too.

Best ever. This was an amazing book I would so read it again and to any one I think you should read it. This book really inspired me.

Sweet <3. This was the first book I cried in, and mist likely the last. I strongly recommend it, it gives life a beautiful outlook.

A Glittering Story. Kira - Kira is a beautiful book with an amazing message. This heartfelt story of a sister - sister relationship warmed my very soul as I read the hardships and happy times of the Takeshima family. This radiant book truly is kira kira.

Great. It is good but it is a tear jerker I cried at some parts but it was one of the best books I have ever read

👍👍👍. This book is amazing it is really touching. As you read it you will get mixed emotions. It tells a great story about how a family moves to GA and a lot of thing happen from then on. I really think it is a great book. I recommend it for ages 10 and up.there is a couple of kinda mature parts that younger kids wouldn't understand them. Enjoy

Fantastic Book. Kira-Kira is one of my favorite books! I've read it many times already. It's very sad (made me cry while reading it) but also has really funny parts. :) I love the relationship between Katie and her sister. You should definitely read this book!

OMG!. I have read this book countless times. Best book I've EVER read! There's so much in it I feel like as if I'm living it. Within hours I have finished the book and felt like I've wanted to read more! Love it!
