Aisholpan Nurgaiv, the subject of the award-winning documentary The
Eagle Huntress, tells her own story for the first time, speaking
directly with writer Liz Welch (I Will Always Write Back), who
traveled to Mongolia for this book. Her story and fresh, sincere
voice are not only inspiring but truly magnificent: with the
support of her father, she captured and trained her own golden
eagle and won the OElgii eagle festival. She was the only girl to
compete in the festival. Her triumphant story hits on multiple key
nonfiction points of appeal: stories of survival, of unique
animal-human bonds, and of girls accomplishing amazing things. One
of the consistent highest-achieving trends in middle-grade
nonfiction continues to be empowering stories about strong girls
accomplishing tasks that had previously been considered impossible.
Not only does Aisholpan's story deliver that sensation in spades,
but it comes with strong media ties from the 2016 documentary about
her and her achievements.
