Genya has known since she was five that she wants to be an artist, and at eleven she will sit the entrance exam for the art school her mother attended. Getting in is not simple, not least because of the school's open secret that no more than one percent of its students may be Jewish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround that ambition sits ordinary life: adults who mock the government only indoors, classmates convinced American bombs are coming, eccentric relatives, a new baby sister. Then on 26 April 1986 the neighbour who is a police officer is called out to a place Genya has never heard of, and the family leaves Kyiv for Volgograd. Nayberg tells it in painterly panels, funny more often than you would expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrade paperback\u003cbr\u003eAges 10-12\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neal Porter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46203039547439,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/ChernobylLifeAndOtherDisasters-1.jpg?v=1789675444","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/chernobyl-life-and-other-disasters","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
