Kira-Kira

Kira-Kira - Cynthia Kadohata Lyrical, interesting, but ultimately depressing. Why are the Newbery winners so sad? This one's about a Japanese-American girl growing up in the South. There's an undercurrent of prejudice and poverty, if the sickness and death doesn't make you melancholy enough. Ultimately transcendent, but be warned.
