Night Witches: A Novel of World War II
Author(s): Kathryn Lasky
Sixteen year old Valya knows what it feels like to fly, feeling more at home soaring through the sky than down on earth. But since the Germans surrounded Stalingrad, Valya’s been forced to stay on the ground and watch her city crumble. When her mother is killed during the siege, Valya is left with one burning desire: to join up with her older sister in the Night Witches—a brigade of young female pilots. And that’s when the REAL danger starts. The women have been assigned a critical mission. If they succeed, they’ll inflict serious damage on the Nazis. If they fail, they’ll face death... or even worse horrors.
