Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata

The theme of the book is how tough situations can make you stronger. The main character, Katie, goes through hard situations. Her sister betrays her to be with boys. She has no friends, is pressured about her grades, and then her beloved sister dies. The negatives of this book are when someone is misunderstood or made fun of. The positives are when Katie learns very important things in life. I would recommend this book to 5th graders and older readers.
