Ten year old Sasha Zaichik has trained his whole life to be a good Communist under Stalin, but when Sasha’s father is arrested for being a spy, Sasha begins to question his own values and beliefs about the Communist regime. Written in the voice of 10 year old Sasha, powerfully stark, black and white illustrations and honest text work together to create a mood of control, repression, secrecy, and fear.
