I enjoyed this book because it showed that you should never give up, even
if things are going badly. This book is about Sadako, who got radiation
from the atomic bomb in Japan. She will soon die from the radiation, so
she sets a goal to fold one thousand paper cranes for peace. Did Sadako
reach her goal? Find out.
