Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Teenage War Survival Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Katie Turner

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ten Thousand Shells & Counting by Nadija Mujagic is a true story recounting the experiences of a young teenage girl in Sarajevo during wartime in the 90s. I could hardly put this book down once I started reading. This story invoked so many emotions for me. My heart ached so much for all the grief and pain Nadija endured during this time while still just trying to live life as normally as possible. As time goes on, she turns to acting out and taking to adult habits as her morale struggles to shatter under the weight of these confusing and saddening times. If memoirs on war interest you at all, I highly recommend taking this journey with Nadjia.
