### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Russian folktale updated to America-- great magic for middle graders!
  

*by G***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2016*

Baba Yaga is never varnished as much as the Brothers Grimm's witches are. Katherine Marsh takes this timeless witch and plops her down un the U. S. (Upstate New York?).  She's got her eye -and stomach - set on a plucky orphan named Mary. But Mary is a clever girl, who develops magic of her own. Marsh is entertaining in this fast moving book, and, as always, she challenges her young readers to stretch their vocabularies and their general knowledge as they delight in a wondrous fantasy story.

    Awesome!!!
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2016*

Even though I am only in 2nd grade, I LOVE it! It has parts of Russian fairy tales like Baba Yaga. This book is full of action and when there is no picture to show you, it’s very easy to imagine what is happening. It is creepy and fishy in a really fun way. SIX STAR RATING!!!!!! -- Sylvie, age 8

    THIS. BOOK. IS. AMAZING!!
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016*

When I got this book, I had low expectations for it.  I have read LOTS of fantasy novels, and I wasn't expecting to be swept off my feet, but this story surprised me.This tale of an orphan who gets adopted by an elderly woman transported me to a new world, telling the legend of the Russian witch, Baba Yaga, in new form.  This was an amazing book, and I absolutely recommend this tale for anyone who is used to fantasy.
