Phenomenal. I loved the back and forth between magic and real life as well as the connections between the generations which allows for each person's story to be unique while still being connected to those who have gone before.

Middle Grade Graphic novel: Quick, fun, modern fairy tale...

Baba Yaga is from Russian folklore and is witch who flies around at night looking for children to steal and EAT. In this story, Masha is upset that her father is getting remarried so goes off to seek a new like as Baba Yaga's assistant.

What to listen to while reading...
Russian folk music!

Masha thinks becoming Baba Yaga's assistant has to be better than staying around for a new step-mother and step-sister. After all, her grandmother did it, so why can't she? Bright, expressive artwork brings the story to life. The tale jumps between the past and the present to give context to Masha's feelings.
