Baba Yaga's assistant
Marika McCoola
jGRAPHIC NOVEL McCoola
Graphic Novels, Fantasy
"Most children think twice before braving a haunted wood filled with terrifying beasties to match wits with a witch, but not Masha. Her beloved grandma taught her many things: that stories are useful, that magic is fickle, that nothing is too difficult or too dirty to clean. The fearsome witch of folklore needs an assistant, and Masha needs an adventure. She may be clever enough to enter Baba Yaga's house-on-chicken-legs, but within its walls, deceit is the rule. To earn her place, Masha must pass a series of tests, outfox a territorial bear, and make dinner for her host. No easy task, with children on the menu!"--
This retelling of Baba Yaga is so fun, and it's the perfect time of year to pick it up again. -Casey
The first time I picked this up I read it in one sitting because I got so sucked in to the indigo hues and memorable characters. This happened again the second time I read it. Maybe I can take a little more time with it this go around, but I'm probably kidding myself--beautiful in every way! -Casey
