Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Teenage War Survival Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Jennifer Crain
Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book reminds me of Diary of A Young Girl- different war, different circumstances, but the same incredible, amazing, and sad story. Despite living through wartorn Bosnia, Nadija survives teenagehood by experimenting with dancing, boyfriends, school, and family relationships, akin to todays’ modern teenagers.
I enjoyed the book, abet with tissue in hand, because Nadija’s innocent yet scarred voice shines through her memoir. The inclusion of war time recipes was also interesting, and the creativity of the refugees to make do with bare supplies was encouraging.
