This was nominated as one of the best children's books last year at goodreads so I was curious. I found it to be enchanting. The witch Baba Yaga does a spell switching her body with a young wolf. An orphan girl named Nadya asks Baba Yaga (who is really the wolf) for help. I enjoyed the use of Russian folklore in this book. You don't need to learn about Baba Yaga beforehand to get this book. I find that people don't really talk about children's literature nowadays. Children's literature is just getting better. I love reading children's literature since it is so imaginative and avoids the trash that you often find in adult literature.
