Breaking Stalin's Nose

(1) 4-6 Ten-year-old Sasha Zaichik loves Stalin and the Communist party. He's especially proud of his father, a member of the secret police. Sasha's worldview shifts after his father is arrested. Although the story takes place over just two days, it is well paced, peeling off the layers of Sasha's naiveté. Appropriately menacing illustrations add a sinister tone.
