Night Witches is about a 16 year old girl who is in Stanlingrad when the Germans are surrounding her city. When the war begins her sister goes to fight and joins an all women bombing squad, the night witches. But she stays behind with her grandma and mother. Once they both die she sets out to join the night witches like her sister. She meets a soldier who helps her get past the Germans. Will she ever find her sister and the night witches?
This book is exciting and will make your heart race, but will also make you cry and learn about how cruel the Germans were in World War II. I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes to learn about history and what mistakes humanity has made.
