The setting is rural Georgia during the late 1950’s. It is about the despair that comes when one of the sisters becomes terminally ill. (  ) DonnaLBradley | Nov 1, 2009 | Well this is a Fifth Grade gotta love. Kira-Kira is a sad but wonderful book. This book is my Second favirote and will always be. In this book two girls get seperated after the oldest sister dies of sickness. You have to read this book it is so sad, but you will love it. (  ) Tcb123 | Oct 7, 2009 | The Takeshima's are a Japanese-American family that lived in Iowa, then move to Georgia. The parents work incredible hours to provide for their children: Lynn, Katie and Sammy. All three siblings are close, but the girls have a very special relationship. Katie narrates the story of the lessons learned from her family. Those lessons become invaluable when tragedy strikes them. The gold sticker indicating that this was a Newbery Medal Book caught my eye, so I brought it home not knowing anything about it. I've seen reviews but haven't read them - maybe I should have, because unfortunately, I really didn't care for it all that much. The narration and characters were fine, but the whole story line was drab and on this rainy day I didn't feel like listening to gloomy text. (2.75/5) Originally posted on: Thoughts of Joy (  ) ThoughtsofJoyLibrary | Aug 25, 2009 | This is a pretty heavy book for a teen book. But books like this need to be available to kids, I think, because it is part of the range of things that happen in life. Not everything is space ships and cartoons. There are several sub-groups that might really identify. I think girls would identify more than boys. Asian people might identify, and relating to the racism, virtually every race can identify. Those who have undergone tragedy, whether just a big move or their parents losing a job, or a huge event like a death in the family, would certainly relate. There's a lot of emotion in this book. But it is powerful and meaningful. mcivalleri | Aug 5, 2009 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

All in all, I found this book to be quite entertainingand shows a way of life and death, what we have and what we don't, and most importantly to cherish what we have right now and the people and friends around us because we don't know for how long they'll be with us. Always love those ones around you or you could regret not loving them once they're gone. But sometimes it's best to move on and create better memories but you can always hold onto that moment and keep it as a memory as well. To be able to move on like Katie Takeshima did was a very heroic act because it's always hard to let go. (
