Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr

5.0

My class read this book in fourth grade, and I still remember it well. My teacher stood in front of us all and held up three books, reading us the synopsis of each, and then asking us to choose which we wanted to read. One was this book. I was fascinated by the synopsis and voted to read this one, as did everyone in the class, like the little masochists we were. When we finished it, the teacher was left to console a class of crying 10 year olds. The book touched my heart, and I was deeply inspired by Sadako's will to survive. A full 5 stars!
