Alex Alex Krylov
Raisa, a slim, dark-haired girl,  lives in Coney Island with her grandmother and her 17-year-old half-brother, Alex Krylov. They were rescued by their grandparents, only to see the family broken up again by deaths, illness, and the twists and backlogs of a visa process that gave Alex a new chance in America but left Raisa orphaned and alone in Ukraine. Alex was 12 when he and his grandmother arrived in Brooklyn as refugees, determined to retrieve Raisa.
