I think this book is very good because it shows how hard it is to be diverse in a country that does not support diversity. His family stands out but they don't let that stop them. I liked this book so much that I immediately checked out another one of Eugene Yelchin's books at the library. I recommend Breaking Stalin's Nose and Spy Runner too.

This book is a non fiction story about members of a poor family that are struggling to live a comfortable life during the Cold War. The book had many emotions that you can come across including happy, sad, and melancholy.
