The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko: A Novel
b
y Scott Stambach (St. Martin’s Press) August 9, 2016
“Seventeen-year-old Ivan Isaenko has spent his entire life in a cloistered world, but he possesses a keen intellect and an understanding of humanity that far exceeds the confines of the Mazyr Hospital for Gravely Ill Children in Belarus. Severely physically handicapped due to radiation poisoning, Ivan has never had a friend beyond his caregivers at the hospital — until Polina is admitted. The two teens form a fast and indelible bond that will leave readers in awe of the tenacity of their commitment. Heartbreaking and awe-inspiring.”
—Pamela Klinger-Horn (E), Excelsior Bay Books, Excelsior, MN
