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

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

It’s been quite a long time since I have had a book touch my heart the way Ten Thousand Shells and Counting has. This is a heart-wrenching, compelling memoir of Nadija Mujagic’s experience through a horrifying war in Sarajevo. The inconceivable recount from Nadija is absolutely bone-chilling as she narrates what it was like to lose her childhood home, her family members, and life on the run. I found myself taking a few moments to reflect multiple times throughout this book as sometimes it just seemed impossible to find a new normal on the other side of this horrendous war. I must say that it was also the most inspiring to read the takeaways this young woman found in the face of adversity. This gut-wrenching memoir is definitely worth your time and reflection told by such a brave soul.
