One Shot
Sobre este e-book
Winner of the 2019 Scottish Teenage Book Prize.
After the death of her beloved father, Maggie and her family are thrown into a life of destitution.
With little income and no way to live off their poor land, Maggie tries to provide for her family the way her father always had – with his hunting rifle and whatever animals the forest would provide. But when her mother is confronted with her "unladylike" behaviour, Maggie is thrown into a life of unthinkable cruelty and abuse.
With no one to care for her and only the hope of escape, all Maggie can do is survive.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 8.
