Annie' s family work hard to survive on their Ohio farm. Annie' s happiest when hunting game with her pa, and she doesn' t care one bit that it' s not the kind of thing girls are meant to do. When tragedy strikes, the family is thrown into deepest poverty. Until one day, Annie dares to pick up Pa' s old rifle, and find a way to feed her starving family. As the family' s fortunes worsen, Annie is sent away to work, and life becomes an ever greater struggle. Yet Annie has the courage and pluck to survive - and her brilliance with a rifle starts to gain her more than just turkeys for the pot. Can Annie' s amazing skills take her all the way to fame and fortune? An inspiring novel based on the incredible life of sharpshooting star Annie Oakley.
