Mieko and the Fifth Treasure Paperback – Illustrated, April 14, 2003

This was such a great book! I had a copy of it years ago, but lost it. Glad to find it on Amazon!

It is a good book for non native English readers. My 4th grade daughter managed to read it with a little help. The story is quite short so mission accomplished.

I read this book with my 7 year-old daughter for a parent-child book club. It deals with a difficult topic but in a gentle and compassionate way. The children in the book group all seemed to have enjoyed the book and understood quite a bit of its messages, which are multi-layered. It provided a wonderful launching point for discussions about friendship and loss and fear. It also is a gentle way to help children who are ready start to think about what happens in war.

I like this book.Recommend to all Middle Schoolers who loves Japan thematics

My students and I love this book. It is a heart warming story and full of encouragement.

Es un libro favil de leer para quienes esten empezando a aprender ingles

It has everything - every human emotion, history and art. Perfect for ages 8 through 12 depending upon reading level

It was a beautiful story but the weird part is that when you play the sample of the person reading to you it goes on to the end.
