Ten Thousand Shells and Counting
By: Nadija Mujagic

This is an amazingly well written memoir about the author’s experiences living in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. This book gives the reader a first hand look of what it was like to live during a war. It shows the absolute atrocities that the author faced and saw but it also shows how she did not lose her sense of humor or the fact that she is still a normal teenager with hormones. This book is so much more than a memoir of living during a war. It is really a coming of age story. A tale of how the author found who she was while living in a war. This is a story of persistence, of how hope endures, and all in all I believe that this is a must read for everyone, young and old, because I believe there is something in Nadia’s story that we all can learn from.
