A review by zomigi
The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson

2.0

I read this book because my 12-year-old daughter recommended it to me, but if I hadn't been reading it for her, I don't think I would have stuck with it. I quickly got annoyed with Marinka's repetitive thoughts of not wanting to be a Yaga and wanting to do what she wants to do. It's realistic for a 12-year-old, but maybe because I have a discontented, ungrateful 12-year-old child myself, I was particularly uninterested in reading about another one. I can see this book being appealing to tweens and teens, but it wasn't for me.
