Sent to Japan for the summer after an eighth-grade classmate's suicide, half-Japanese, half-Jewish Kana Goldberg tries to fit in with relatives she barely knows and reflects on the guilt she feels over the tragedy back home. (From titlewave.com.)
Mrs. Lassley's Review
In an age where students seem to take making fun of each other to a new level, this book might make you rethink what you say. For the first part of the book Kana seems to blame the girl who changed her life, but as time goes on, she starts to see how she might be partly to blame. This is a book that might help all of us think twice about what we say to some one. Very well written book!
