Fiction
Kira-Kira is about a Japeneese family that runs out of money and is forced to move to an apartment far away. The problem is that where they are moving there is white poeple everywhere that don't like different people. The two parents are their two daughters put up with all the dirty looks and rude comments. After a while, all is well, but suddenly one of the daughters, Lynn gets really sick. Their family is falling apart by working 20 hours a day and taking care of Lynn. Will Lynn recover from her horrible illness or will she die? Find out by reading Kira-Kira.
I recommend this book because it shows how hard people work that aren't so fortunate. It's a moving story that you wont want to put down. It's one of my favorite books so far. Read Kira-Kira for a heartbreaking story that will keep you going.

Hi Students,
Each student is required to post a blog on this site at least once each quarter. You will be following the format below to tell about an Accelerated Reader (AR) book you have completed. This book must be written on your reading log and have a parent's or teacher's signature. Your entry on this blog site will be graded. It is up to you when you post your information although you will probably want to do this as soon as you have taken your AR test on a book.
In addition, students may want to respond to a "blog" written by another student. At any time throughout the quarter, students may write their own opinions or feedback about another entry written on this site. All entries will be monitored for appropriateness.
Your classmates will enjoy reading what you write either in your entry or in response to someone else's. Have fun with this. :-)

Hey Vanessa, Kira-Kira is a very good book! I might read it again.
This looks like a great book. Do they say bad words or just look at them bad? My mom is really picky about the books I read.
