About this listen

Award-winning author Katrina Nannestad transports us to Russia and the Great Patriotic War and into the life of Sasha, a soldier at only six years old.

Wood splinters and Mama screams, and the nearest soldier seizes her roughly by the arms. My sister pokes her bruised face out from beneath the table and shouts, 'Run, Sasha! Run!'

So I run. I run like a rabbit.

It's spring, 1942. The sky is blue, the air is warm and sweet with the scent of flowers. And then everything is gone. The flowers, the proud geese, the pretty wooden houses, the friendly neighbours. Only Sasha remains.

But one small boy, alone in war-torn Russia, cannot survive. One small boy without a family cannot survive. One small boy without his home cannot survive. What that small boy needs is an army.

From the award-winning author of We Are Wolves comes the story of a young boy who becomes a soldier at six, fighting in the only way he can - with love. But is love ever enough when the world is at war?

A moving and powerful story of love in times of despair

A beautifully crafted historical piece of fiction which I thoroughly look forward to sharing with my students as we explore literature.

funny and sad

It was different to listen to a book based on WW2 from a child's perspective.
They suffered as much as learned much from this period of events.

amazing book

This being the first time having this book read to me. I have also read this book. It is one amazing book would recommend the best storyline amazing story the book made me feel all of these different emotions even after knowing everything that was going to happen. If you really enjoyed this book i would recommend. We are wolves which is similar but it is just in a Germans perspective. Then if you like both their is waiting for the storks which is similar but a polish girl whom gets taken by Germans who teach her how to be a German child trying to remove her memory's of Poland.


Would recommend this authors books
Very good to listen to.
