How far would you go to find the impossible if it meant your survival?  Lev is captured looting a dead Nazi paratrooper.  Koyla is a charismatic Russian deserter.  The Colonel spares them from the expected bullet if they can bring back a dozen eggs for his daughter's wedding cake.  But this is Leningrad under siege.  Thus their outrageous journey for the impossible begins as they cross enemy lines, encounter cannibals, a rooster called Darling, antitank dogs, and frozen soldiers as signposts.  In turn funny, horrific, and provocative, this amazingly visual story holds you spellbound until you turn the last page.  --Angela M.
