Daughter. Pilot. Traitor?

Nastia is no traitor. She is a fearless pilot, the daughter of revolutionaries, and now, as the Second World War descends on Russia, she must fight alongside her male peers to defend the glorious Motherland. But all is not as it seems.

As Hitler’s army moves forward and the battles begin, secrets are revealed and everything that Nastia once knew is challenged.

Union Square & Co.’s EVERYONE CAN BE A READER books are expertly written, thoughtfully designed with dyslexia-friendly fonts and paper tones, and carefully formatted to meet readers where they are with engaging stories that encourage reading success across a wide range of age and interest levels.

  • "Fascinating details of the war, such as the impact of extreme cold in the winter of 1942, are peppered throughout taut battle scenes. Nastia’s bravery and commitment to her country is palpable across this dynamically told war tale that reimagines well-known history."
     
    Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review
