(4) YA In 1941, Jewish orphan Kalinka finds herself on the frigid Ukrainian steppe, in the Askaniya-Nova reserve, with two rare Przewalski horses, struggling to survive the ravages of Nazi occupation. Max, the reserve's elderly caretaker, risks everything to help Kalinka hide. Despite lumbering plotting, this unique survival-adventure story is set within a country whose contemporary strife makes its history all the more relevant.
