![]() ![]() But what’s more Russian than suffering? With fantastic pacing and poignant emotional turns, Brosgol’s winsome graphic memoir hilariously captures the lengths kids go to in order to fit in as well as the author’s growth from a girl desperate for a place to belong into someone confident enough to stand up for herself. ![]() She stumbles over the language, doesn’t know all the songs, and generally can’t quite get a handle on roughing it. But she’s much younger than her tent-mates, and-impossibly-she’s not Russian enough to fit in.

She can never quite get the hang of sleepover birthday parties, and she’ll never have expensive toys like they do. Vera feels too Russian for her friends in Albany. ![]()
