Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by lindsey O'brian

I fell in love with this book. It is really good; I can't stop reading it. You should really read it.

KIRA KIRA
Kira-Kira seems as a word used to just mean something glittering, but to Lynn and Katie it is much more its more of a way to admire everything that they have around them. It's also a way in which they express how they feel and how they can make something as ordinary as a box of tissues seem wonderful. It's a sad yet awaking book, thrilling and mysterious in the fact of not knowing what's coming to you and what else you're going to read.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by cami

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Wendy
Kira-Kira
I loved this book because I never read a book about a sister that loved her sister so dearly and when the older sister died, it changed the whole story into a cloudy book because it was so sad. I recommend this book for whoever comes upon it. READ IT! =D

I loved this book! I thought it would be boring but the first page convinced me otherwise.
