The House with Chicken Legs
by Sophie Anderson
9th Best Book of 2018!
Magical- 5*
I read this book whilst I was on the train. I genuinely don't really remember my train journey because I wasn't on the train, I was on a journey with Marinka, her Baba, Jack and the House with Chicken Legs.
I honestly adore this book. I adore Marinka. This is labelled as 'children's fiction' and I hate the limitations that brings because this book is stunning. Please don't discard this. This book deals with death heavily but in an incredibly suitable way as Marinka's grandmother is a guardian and guides spirits between this world and the next. This book also deals with loneliness, friendship, family, destiny, fate and love. It is heartbreaking but honestly beautiful. I'm shocked.
I was first recommended this on EduTwitter and I was pleasantly surprised to see one of the people I follow on Twitter is in the 'praise' section.
I honestly adore this book. Wow. Just wow.
