The Genius Under the Table by Eugene Yelchin
An Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Honor WinnerWith 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.
Eugene Yelchin is a painter and illustrator from Russia. Breaking Stalin's Nose, which he both wrote and painted, earned him a Newbery Honor. His family and he live in southern California. The website for Eugeney Elchin's books is www.eugeneyelchinbooks.com.
