Hana’s Suitcase: A True Story
CRITICS HAVE SAID
- “Levine cross-cuts to the tragedies that befall Hana and her brother, but does not let readers anguish; she interposes exciting accounts of Fumiko’s detective work and the sense of accomplishment it brings to the club.” – Publishers Weekly
- “Levine successfully incorporates the two stories: a bleak story of a young girl’s pointless suffering and death at the hands of fellow humans, the other a hopeful one of children, a world away in space and time from the events that deprived Hana of her future, who vow “never again.” – Kirkus
