Russia
by Gloria Whelan
In 1913 Russia, twelve-year-old Katya eagerly
anticipates leaving her St. Petersburg home,
though not her older cousin Misha, to join her
mother, a lady-in-waiting in the household of
Tsar Nicholas II, but the ensuing years bring
world war, revolution, and undreamed-of
changes to her life. A great piece of historical
fiction where you can see both sides of this
conflict. Highly recommended by Rachel.

and arduous journey into Siberia to find their
mother after she and their father are exiled for
opposing Stalin.
