Escape From Stalingrad by Andy Marino
The book is about a boy named Artem, who lives in the capital city of Russia with his older brother during WWII. His older brother enlists in the military, and him and his older brother dig trenches, and fortify the city, so Nazi Germany doesn’t take it.
I really liked the book because of how many details there are in the book, and also because of the characters. I also liked how amazing the climax was, it was very dramatic and crazy.
My favorite character in the book is Vasily, Artems older brother.
My favorite quote in the book is, “We have men behind the frontlines with guns, ready to shoot anybody who retreats.” Pg 107. This is my favorite quote because it shows how desperate the Russian military were to hold and defend Stalingrad.
Please remember the character trait, quote to prove it, and explanation of the quote.
