When she turns eleven, she’ll apply to the same prestigious art school that her mother attended. But making the cut won’t be easy, especially with the school’s open-secret rule that no more than 1% of the student body can be Jewish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe years before Genya’s eleventh birthday bring plenty to distract her. Nothing in Soviet Ukraine is quite as it seems; adults mock the government, but only in private; and her classmates are terrified of American bomb strikes. And that’s all before April 26, 1986, when Genya’s police officer neighbor gets called to an emergency in a town she’s never heard of: Chernobyl. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA graphic memoir account of creator Yevgenia Nayberg’s childhood,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eChernobyl, Life, and Other Disasters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis both deeply personal and a glimpse into broader Soviet intelligentsia experiences.
