Wolf by Wolf: One girl’s mission to win a race and kill Hitler Free Audiobook Download by Ryan Graudin
Hitler was a man who didn't understand the power of diversity, and that's what one teenage girl has to change. In this audiobook, Krista Lewis narrates the story of Rapunzel, a girl with curly red hair and freckles who is trying to help her parents escape from Germany in 1939. In order to do this, she enters a race to get across the border into Austria. Along the way she meets Marie Antoinette, who becomes her best friend; Walt Disney, who becomes her ally; and Hitler himself. Ultimately, Wolf by Wolf shows Hitler for what he is: an evil dictator whose dictatorship will not last forever - as long as humans have dreams and hope for their future.
The book opens with a young girl named Marlen running for her life. Marlen is not just running from the Nazis, but also to prove that she is better than them. She's trying to win the Hitler Youth Winter Race of 1939 in hopes that it will get her a place on one of the few sports teams at her school. She falls down a hill and lands in a pile of snow which leads the race officials to think she’s playing "dead" only to find out that she's actually faking it. The officials let her continue the race because they are too busy arguing about what they should do with Marlen's corpse on the side of the course.
Readers are taken to the year 1943 when Germany is on the brink of victory. The country is in full control, and people have been rounded up into camps for extermination. But one girl with a shining blond braid is determined not to let that happen. She's going to win the race and kill Hitler.
Wolf is a hitler-killing machine. In a race against time, Wolf goes from being a poor refugee girl to an elite fighter pilot. But the story doesn't end there. Wolf has been trained to kill, but it's not enough for Hitler to die. Wolf must destroy his legacy and take down the Reich.
Krista is a young girl living in Berlin when Hitler comes to power. He takes away her family and threatens to take away anything else she loves, including food and freedom. Krista decides that the only way to be free is to get far away from Germany, and so she enters into a competition, the Wold Race. For three days, she runs without sleep or rest until she reaches Paris with the help of a new friend named Georgi, who has devised a way for her to harness her power of speed in order to kill Hitler before he starts World War II.
