Tolstikova, Dasha
1 Reviews
(1)
YA
Tolstikova's illustrated memoir recounts when her mother relocated to America for graduate school and she, twelve, was left with her grandparents in Moscow. Through present-tense narration, readers follow Dasha's experiences, from a boy crush to uncertainty during the 1991 coup d'état attempt. Pencil and ink illustrations, in mostly whites and grays, emphasize the chilly setting. Color is used sparsely but to great emotional effect.
