Question:

Has anyone read the book 1001 Paper Cranes by Naomi Hirahara?

What is the book about?Is it a good one?

Answer:

My teacher read it to my class a few years ago so its kinda hard to remember, but it was about a girl living in Japan who gets diagnosed with a disease (i think cancer, but i'm not sure) and she beleived from the old Japanese story, that if you make a 1001 paper cranes, you would be granted a wish. Of course her wish would have been to live without the disease. Though, sadly, before she could make 1001 paper cranes, she lost to the disease and died. It had some really sad parts in it too, like how her best friend in the hospital with her died too. Also, this was a true story Her school desided to finish making the cranes for her, (which was very sweet) :) Our school also did it too hope you read it!
that was a really good book about a girl who gets leukemia and thinks that if she makes 1001 cranes she'll get a wish and live on but sadly she dies. her classmates finish the paper cranes and they made a statue in her honor.
