Character
I will be reading this book with my 6th grade ELA class soon.
I know it’s a middle grade read, but it seems too simple. I also saw from other reviews that the story isn’t 100% accurate based on Sadako’s history. So I will be making sure we research and learn of the real history behind Sadako in my class! I did enjoy the story, but I think that it could have been flushed out and not rushed as much as it was. And I would have liked to read more about what happened after she passed away rather than the small blurb in the epilogue.
