Saving Zasha by Randi Barrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You'll Fall in Love with Zasha and Mikhail ! !

I found this book to be: exceptionally well-written, poignant, & charming.

Great for: upper elementary, middle school.

This engaging, moving, thrilling story is set in a rural part of northern Russia, at the end of World War II. I found it so easy to relate to the characters, especially Mikhail and his older brother, Nikolai. Their family is changed forever by the discovery of Zasha, a beautiful, intelligent German shepherd dog. For Randi Barrow, the author, this is her first foray into historical fiction. I am confident you will agree that the result is an outstanding book. I can't say enough about how terrific it is ! !
