纽伯瑞奖获得者尤金·叶利钦（Eugene Yelchin）巧妙结合了喜剧时机和辛酸，呈现出一部冷战时期俄罗斯成长经历的回忆录。

戏剧，家庭秘密，在自家厨房里当克格勃的间谍！叶甫盖尼连自己的房间都没有，怎么实现父母让他成为国家英雄的期望？他不是明星运动员或传奇的芭蕾舞者。他与痴迷于巴雷什尼科夫的母亲、热爱诗歌的父亲、易怒的祖母和安全的天才弟弟共同居住在小公寓里，叶甫盖尼只有他的小铅笔、大桌子和可能改变一切的涂鸦。获奖作家和艺术家尤金·叶利钦以同样的魅力和庄重，以搞笑的方式详细叙述了他在冷战时期俄罗斯的童年，当时他还是一个渴望了解自己在家庭中的位置的小男孩。

With a masterful mix of comic timing and disarming poignancy, Newbery Honoree Eugene Yelchin offers a memoir of growing up in Cold War Russia.

Drama, family secrets, and a KGB spy in his own kitchen! 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.
