Children Of The Bear: The Road To Stalingrad

Lost and alone in a country torn apart by war, Tania and Alexi Chenkov, two young Russian children, must somehow make their way to the city of Stalingrad where they hope their parents will be waiting for them. Along the way, danger lurks at every turn, not just from the remorseless German army that is hot on their heels, but crooked policemen, blackmarketeers, looters and soldiers from their own army. In the nick of time they are rescued by a gang of street children led by the enigmatic Petar. Petar convinces Tania that her best hope of finding her mother is to accept his protection. Reluctantly, she agrees and so begins a journey of discovery as well as great danger, where all roads lead to Stalingrad. The Road to Stalingrad is the first instalment in the trilogy: Children of the Bear.
