Publisher's Synopsis

Leningrad, 1941. Twins Viktor and Nadya are twelve years old when Hitler's Germany declares war on the Soviet Union. All the city's children are evacuated on trains that are meant to take them to safety, but first Viktor and Nadya are separated, then disaster befalls them both.

So begins a desperate race across snow and ice as one of history's most terrible conflicts rages. Can the twins find a path through the destruction all around, to find each other and their family once again?

Red Stars is a thrilling tale of courage, bravery and love, in the face of the most terrifying danger imaginable.

About the Publisher

Pushkin Children's Books

Just as we all are, children are fascinated by stories. From the earliest age, we love to hear about monsters and heroes, romance and death, disaster and rescue, from every place and time. In 2013, we created Pushkin Children's Books to share these tales from different languages and cultures with younger readers, and to open the door to the wide, colourful worlds these stories offer. From picture books and adventure stories to fairy tales and classics, and from fifty-year-old bestsellers to current huge successes abroad, the books on the Pushkin Children's list reflect the very best stories from around the world, for our most discerning readers of all: children.
