The book “Kira-Kira” is something everyone is recommended to read. Written by author Cynthia Kadohata, the story has a good plot and no loopholes. In this writing, I will try to persuade you, as a reader, to read this book.

The book involves a lot of conversing between characters, allowing us to understand more of the feelings of different people.

Throughout the novel Josie is constantly changing her views on people, and experiences her share of emotional upheaveful as she comes to realize that a perfect world consists of more than just gorgeous hairstyles, rich boyfriends and social privileges.

This can be seen in her interactions with her close family members Christina, Nonna and Michael. She also selfish towards her friends John and Jacob.…
