I loved this book!!!
Thank you for this arc. One of the best middle reader but written for all ages that I have read in a long time.
This is a wonderful retelling of a Baba Yaga fairytale full of family loyalty and a brave girl who will face her fears to save her family. She learns to face injustices, cruelty, and bullying all while being able to maintain her kindness ,her loyalty and her love of her family and friends. The story is beautifully written from Pennsylvania all the way to old Rus. and back.
