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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16605121\"\u003eEugene Yelchin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536236248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536236241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JNF\"\u003eJuvenile Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JNF006020\"\u003eArt | Drawing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JNF\"\u003eJuvenile Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JNF038060\"\u003ePlaces | Europe\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JNF\"\u003eJuvenile Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JNF007010\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography | Art\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEugene Yelchin\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis the co-author and illustrator of the 2018 National Book Award Finalist \u003ci\u003eThe Assassination of Brangwain Spurge\u003c\/i\u003e, co-written with M.
