The genius under the table : growing up behind the Iron Curtain Cover Image Book

The genius under the table : growing up behind the Iron Curtain / Eugene Yelchin.

Growing up behind the Iron Curtain (portion title)
Yelchin, Eugene, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

"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."-- Provided by publisher.
