First... this book has a pretty cover. Look at that colors it caught my attention for sure. Next music, prodigies and Chernobyl. This sounds like an intriguing book.Russia, 1986.

And in a village in Belarus, a teenage boy wakes to a sky of the deepest crimson. Outside, the ears of his neighbor's cattle are dripping blood. Ten miles away, at the Chernobyl Power Plant, something unimaginable has happened.Now their lives will change forever.
