How will Yevgeny ever fulfill his parents’ dream that he become a national hero when he doesn’t even have his own room? He’s not a star athlete or a legendary ballet dancer. In the tiny apartment he shares with his Baryshnikov-obsessed mother, poetry-loving father, continually outraged grandmother, and safely talented brother, all Yevgeny has is his little pencil, the underside of a massive table, and the doodles that could change everything. With equal amounts charm and solemnity, award-winning author and artist Eugene Yelchin recounts in hilarious detail his childhood in Cold War Russia as a young boy desperate to understand his place in his family.","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065107464432,"sku":"9781536215526","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781536215526_p0.jpg?v=1763783728","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781536215526","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
