One Shot by Tanya Landman

One Shot by Tanya Landman

A powerful and deeply moving coming-of-age drama from Carnegie Medal-winning author Tanya Landman, inspired by the life of infamous sharpshooter Annie Oakley. 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.

“Landman is known for her ferocious, affecting historical fiction … this is one of her bestGrim yet uplifting, this slim, tough book will grip its reader from first page to last” – The Guardian

"Brilliantly told … grabs you from the very outset with a pacey opening and just never lets you go" – The Letterpress Project

"Another beautifully crafted, satisfying read from one of our most accomplished writers for young people" – Books for Keeps

"Landman writes with pace, passion and expertise" – The Times

Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully “deft and dark”, Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier. In 2019 she won the Scottish Teenage Book Prize for her critically acclaimed novella One Shot. Tanya says that she loves how writing allows her to daydream – something she was always in trouble for at school! She lives in Devon with her sons, a Siamese cat and two Labradors.
