The rating for this review says five stars, but to me, this book deserves 20 stars. I absolutely adore this book! In this book I laughed, I cried, and I was wanting more. Katie looked up to her sister Lynn. To Katie, Lynn was the greatest person in the world. Then, Lynn becomes diagnosed with lymphoma. Lynn can barely move or eat. Katie and her family have to take care of her. Being a Japanese family in the 1950's, life isn't always easy. Katie's mother works at a factory, and her father works at a hatchery. My teacher made us read this book, and I'm not a big fan of reading, so of course I was dreading it. Then, I got hooked to this book. I would highly recomend this book for any reader, young, or old.
