Â â€œAn extraordinary book, one no reader will fail to find compelling and unforgettable.â€ â€”Booklist, starred review

The star of her schoolâ€™s running team, Sadako is lively and athleticâ€¦until the dizzy spells start. Then she must face the hardest race of her lifeâ€”the race against time.Â Based on a true story, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes celebrates the courage that makes one young woman a heroine in Japan.Â

"[The] story speaks directly to young readers of the tragedy of Sadako's death and, in its simplicity, makes a universal statement for 'peace in the world.â€ â€”The Horn BookÂ "The story is told tenderly but with neither a morbid nor a sentimental tone: it is direct and touching." Â â€”BCCB
