SPECIAL KIDS' EVENT!

Sarah's August favorite introduces twelve-year-old Angela Kato, who' staying with grandparents in Gardena for the summer. She doesn't know anyone, and she has to work – folding origami cranes at her grandparents' flower shop for traditional Japanese weddings. On top of that, her parents are fighting again, and this time, her dad may have moved out permanently. Angela just wants everything to return to normal, but when she meets a cute skateboarder with long hair and befriends her grandparents' odd neighbor Mrs. O, she realizes she may not have all the answers.
