Rate: good
Although I rated this book “good”, I think it is also very sad. Katie and her sister, Lynn, were the best of friends(Both were Japanese).They lived happily in Iowa, until their parents told them they were moving to Georgia. At Georgia, Katie’s parents worked very hard, and they barely got to sleep. Katie was lonely, because Lynn had a new and fancy best friend, called Amber, who ignored Katie. Then, her mother had a new baby, called Sammy. They had many adventures. But then a terrible tragedy happened. Lynn grew deathly ill. But soon she began to become better. I thought that she would live. Sadly, instead she grew worse, after they had a picnic together and Sammy hurt his leg. Soon, Lynn became so ill that she passed away. Katie felt very sad. I am very sad, too, for Lynn’s unfortunate life.
