"Breaking Stalin's Nose" is one of "Horn Book"'s Best Fiction Books
of 2011 Sasha Zaichik has known the laws of the Soviet Young
Pioneers since the age of six: "The Young Pioneer is devoted to
Comrade Stalin, the Communist Party, and Communism.""A Young
Pioneer is a reliable comrade and always acts according to
conscience.""A Young Pioneer has a right to criticize
shortcomings."But now that it is finally time to join the Young
Pioneers, the day Sasha has awaited for so long, everything seems
to go awry. He breaks a classmate's glasses with a snowball. He
accidentally damages a bust of Stalin in the school hallway. And
worst of all, his father, the best Communist he knows, was arrested
just last night. Eugene Yelchin's moving story of a ten-year-old
boy's world shattering is masterful in its simplicity, powerful in
its message, and heartbreaking in its plausibility.
