In Kira-Kira, Cynthia Kadohata spins her realistic tale about a young girl who worries about her sisters on and off sickness and keeping the family together as it begins to fall apart.This is a very interesting book because it shows in only a matter if years.It portrays what the reaction of segregated American-Japanese child experiences in the early 1900s'.
Kira-Kira by by Cynthia Kadohata is a brilliant novel that its full of wounderful insight in the scenes.This book is inspired for children mainly at the ages 9-12,who will enjoy a paperback filled with saddness, loss, predjudice, and a couple triumphs thrown in here and there. This book was very sad and if you really thought about it for a while, you would start to empathize on the main character, Katie Akiko Takeshima. This book deserves a rating of four stars out of five.The book was really intriguing, but in order for it to earn a full 5 out of 5 stars,it would have to have an alternate climax, for that was the real killer of its 5/5 chances. I would rate this book a 4/5 stars because while it did provide a great experience through and through, it could have benifitted from a better solution to the problem.
Something tht would have been really cool in Kira-Kira would have been in Cynthia had been able to acheive and third person- omnicient perspective by Katie's sister, Lynn Takeshima. This would have made the book if not easier to understand, but more interesting.It would have been compelling to know what Lynn is thinking throughout her sickness and maybe a little harder to bear, but it would be worth it. This book is a great experience for anyone who wants a heart-gripping story to intigue and insight your thoughts. The ending is wise and wounderful and will leave you just begging for more. Read and gain a great new experience in the process with Cynthia Kadohata's Newberry Award Winning novel, Kira-Kira
