This is a story about this young girl called Sadako. Her city Hiroshima was bombed when she was a little girls just 1 year old. She was running on a track at school when she collapsed and was taken to hospital. Later she I diagnoses with leukemia “the bomb disease” which comes as a shock to the whole family
This book is set mostly in the hospital where she has to stay for the time it takes for her to recover or pass away. At the start of the book it is set in the carnival where the people put candles in the water for the sprits that were taken in the bomb and the wars.
The main characters in this book are Sadako who is the girl and then there is her best friend Chizuko her family which includes her mother her father her older brother and her younger sister and her younger brother.
There is a old saying that if you fold 1000 paper cranes then you get one wish form god her best friend tells her and starts her job and her attempt for that one wish. She folds 644 paper cranes the end comes.
