"A beautiful reminder that fairy tales are at their best when they illuminate the precarious balance between lighthearted childhood and the darkness and danger of adulthood." -- School Library Journal (starred review) Elena Rudina lives in the impoverished Russian countryside, and there is no food. But then a train arrives in the village, a train carrying a cornucopia of food, untold wealth, and a noble family destined to visit the Tsar in Saint Petersburg--a family that includes Ekaterina, a girl of Elena's age. When the two girls' lives collide, an adventure is set in motion, an escapade that includes mistaken identity, a monk locked in a tower, a prince traveling incognito, and--in a starring role only Gregory Maguire could have conjured--Baba Yaga, witch of Russian folklore, in her ambulatory house perched on chicken legs.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Gregory MaguirePublisher: Candlewick Press (MA)Published: 08/04/2015ISBN: 9780763680169Pages: 496Weight: 1.10lbsSize: 8.40h x 5.90w x 1.30dAward: Rhode Island Teen Book Award - NomineeAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 168143 / Egg & SpoonReading Level: 5.6 / Interest Level: Middle Grade Plus / Point Value: 17
