    About this ebook

    WHEN 12-YEAR-OLD ANGELA Kato arrives in L.A., the last thing she wants to do is spend the entire summer with her grandparents. But in the Kato family, one is never permitted to complain. Grandma Michi and Aunt Janet put Angela to work in their flower shop, folding origami and creating 1001 crane displays for newlyweds. At first, Angela learns the trade begrudgingly. But when her folding skills improve and her relationships with family and friends grow, Angela is able to cope with her troubles, especially her parents’ impending divorce.

      Think this is young adult - middle school - genre, so not sure how it got on my list, but well worth it.
      Not allowed to complain, parents divorcing, staying with grandparents, learning about neighbors. I learned much about Japanese-American family culture and especially about the tradition of 1001 Cranes.
