Description
A Newbery Honor Book. Sasha Zaichik has known the laws of the Soviet Young Pioneers since he was six: being devoted to Comrade Stalin, the Communist Party, and Communism is expected. As a new member, everything seems to go awry. He breaks a classmate's glasses with a snowball and damages a bust of Stalin in the school hallway. His father, a respected Communist, has been arrested just last night. Eugene Yelchin's story of a ten-year-old boy's world shattering is masterful in its simplicity, powerful in its message, and heartbreaking in its plausibility. The consequences of Sasha's actions are both unexpected and devastating. This moving tale explores the complexities of childhood, loyalty, and the harsh realities of growing up in a society with strict rules and expectations.
