Outside Beauty by Cynthia Kadohata - OPTIONAL


Kadohata, Cynthia Outside Beauty, 265 p.

Content: PG.

MS - OPTIONAL

Helen Kimura has four daughters from four different men from all over the country. She has taught the girls that what is on the outside is the most important thing. Then Helen gets in an accident and the girls are sent to live with their various fathers while she recuperates. The girls are determined to pull their family back together, even if it means defying five grownups to get what they want.

I wasn't particularly enthralled by the girls' story.

Cindy, Library-Teacher.
