DESCRIPTION:

A taut action story with a heroine at its centre will appeal to both boys and girls. This is the true story of a teenage sniper recruited in 1942 to seek out and shoot German officers. To begin with, the youngster finds it almost impossible to kill, but after a shocking discovery, goes on to ‘snap as many as 84 German sticks’, and following capture and a daredevil escape, leads a handpicked unit on a hazardous mission...to seize Field Marshall Paulus, the Commander-in-Chief of the invading army. This story has been meticulously researched and based on actual events and people who took part in the Battle of Stalingrad. The main character's story based on the oral memoirs of real-life sniper Tania Chernova.
