Breaking Stalin's Nose

Celebrated artist and author Eugene Yelchin drew on his own experience growing up in Soviet Russia to pen this Newbery Honor Book. Breaking Stalin's Nose follows 10-year-old Sasha Zaichik, who wants nothing more than to be a Young Pioneer in Stalin's Communist Party. But when his father, a member of the State Security police, is arrested the night before the Young Pioneer ceremony, Sasha is left to re-evaluate everything he's been taught about Stalin and what it truly means to be a good comrade.
