<b>When Harrison, the son of American diplomats, lands in Moscow at the height of the Cold War, he knows three things.&nbsp;</b><br /><br />His passport will keep him safe.&nbsp;<br /><br />His daydreams will keep him company.&nbsp;<br /><br />His music will keep him sane.&nbsp;<br /><br />But everything he knows is about to change.&nbsp;<br /><br />His father has disappeared. His mother is keeping secrets. And his friend Prudence, the fearless daughter of foreign correspondents, leads him on a wild chase across the city in pursuit of a mysterious stranger.&nbsp;<br /><br />Suddenly Harrison is on the run from mobsters and spies, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the unlikeliest treasure: a legendary lost recording by The Beatles, a symbol of freedom in a place where rock is banned.&nbsp;<br /><br />As international tensions threaten to ignite, Harrison holds the key to finding the album that could prevent war. All he needs is a little help from his friends &mdash; but he must decide who to trust, what to risk, and how far to go.&nbsp;<br /><br />If you enjoyed Anthony Horowitz&#39;s <i>Alex Rider</i> series, Elizabeth Wein&#39;s <i>Code Name Verity</i>, or Ruta Sepetys&#39;s <i>I Must Betray You</i>, you&#39;ll love <i>Back in the USSR</i>.<br /><br /><br />&quot;MASTERFUL ...
