ByPublisher Description
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.

“Angela Kato is 12 years old when she's sent to L.A. to spend the summer with her grandparents. She recognizes a problem between her parents, but true to this Japanese-American family, some things are not discussed. Angela goes unwillingly and is troubled by her parents' secrecy. During the summer she learns to fold origami cranes to assist her grandparents with 1001 crane wedding displays.
Many different relationships are portrayed - her parents' crumbling marriage, a troubled engaged couple, Angela's own foray into romance and her grandparents' strong stable relationship. What Angela learns is some work and some don't - a soft ending for a book that had more potential. I would have liked to see a stronger metaphorical tie with the origami. I also felt the author was often 'telling' rather than 'showing'.”
