4.0 out of 5 stars
Heartbreaking and bittersweet,
This review is from: Kira Kira (Paperback)
Katie has been moved from her home to live in the Deep South. She idolises her sister, Lynnie, who makes everything seem alive and beautiful. However as the girls get older, they begin to grow apart slightly. When Lynnie becomes terminally ill, it is up to Katie to find the Kira Kira (the beautiful things) in life.
What made me like Kira Kira is that it is written with such child- like innocence. Katie is not particularlr pretty or clever in her eyes, but nevertheless an excellent main character. Kira Kira is poignant, beautiful, sad and completely compelling. I am both shocked and amazed that no- one else has reviewed this tremendous book.

Kira-Kira,
This review is from: Kira-Kira (Kindle Edition)
I read this book in the original paper format, but I decided to write a review on here too. The story is narrated in first person, almost instantly capturing your full attention and, before long. your heart too. Tragic, compelling, beautiful and an example of work that is truly Kira-Kira!
P.S. Please read this, I promise you'll love it and it will stay with you for life! ^-^

Bitter sweet but heart warming story,

This review is from: Kira Kira (Paperback)
Although this is a book for juniors, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Kind of reminded me of my relationship with my sister in our childhood, the way we looked after each other. Made me smile, brought tears to my eyes. The way Cynthia tells the story in simple writing also delivers the story well.
