OverviewFrom Newbery Honor-winning author Eugene Yelchin comes Arcady's Goal, another glimpse into Soviet Russia. For twelve-year-old Arcady, soccer is more than just a game. Sent to live in a children's home after his parents are declared enemies of the state, it is a means of survival, securing extra rations, respect, and protection. Ultimately, it proves to be his chance to leave. But in Soviet Russia, second chances are few and far between. Will Arcady seize his opportunity and achieve his goal? Or will he miss his shot? This title has Common Core connections. Yelchin's b&w drawings, interspersed throughout the text as both spots and spreads, add emotional depth and amplify the plot; ample soccer detail makes this a winner for fans of the sport. --Publishers Weekly Two survivors of Stalinist oppression attempt to form a family in this companion to the 2012 Newbery Honor-winning Breaking Stalin's Nose . . . An uplifting, believable ending makes this companion lighter - but no less affecting - than its laurelled predecessor. --Kirkus Reviews Full Product DetailsAuthor: Eugene Yelchin , Sean SchemmelPublisher: MacMillan Audio Imprint: MacMillan Audio Dimensions: Width: 13.70cm , Height: 2.50cm , Length: 18.80cm Weight: 0.159kg ISBN: 9781427260260ISBN 10: 1427260265 Publication Date: 01 October 2014 Recommended Age: From 9 to 12 years Audience: Children/juvenile , Children / Juvenile Format: Pre-recorded MP3 player Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
