I recomend this book because it is based on a true story. I recomend this because it was very touching that Sadako got the Adam bom disees. I recomend this book because it was very hopeful because Sadako she thought that if she would fold one thousand paper crains that the gods would grant her a wish. She was going to use that wish so that she could survive the Adam bom disees. I recomend this book because it is very sad that she was going to see her friend one day and he was dead the next morning. I recomend this book because at the starting of the book she was a very good runner and she thought that almost any thing was a sign of good look. irecomend this book because the main character was very hopeful and nice. I recomend this book because it is sad when sadako dies in the hospital. i recomend this book because the main character was hopeful and very kind to others.

I liked it because the part where sadako was in the hospital she made almost one thousend paper crains. And i thought that it was so criated and i would like to do something creative like her. So i liked liked it because she is the only girl that i have learnd about that was so creative. and the other part that iliked was that when some people in japan did a stacheu of sadako because she died.She is also so nice ,jenores, sweet and creative to the whole world.she is also in insperasion to littlgirls.She is also some thing that has inspired me the most.Iloved this book because it expresses averithing that she has ever soferd.

I think this book is so sad and touching. This girl gives her life to help other people, and I felt so bad for her because she was just so nice and thoughtful, she didn't deserve to have that kind of ending! :(

I think this book is an awesome book . It is about a 6th grade girl who who is enthusiastic and loves to run. She finds out she has leukemia and is brave , strong , and doesn't give up because she decided to make 1,000 paper cranes and if she completed all 1,000 "the Gods" would give her 1 wish.

I have read this book . One time ,my teacher said that I looked like Sadako with my long hair
