Baba Yaga’s Assistant, Marika McCoola & Emily Carroll

I saw this on the new book shelf in the youth graphic novel section at the library and read it between MarioKart turns (our library has a Nintendo Switch in the kid’s section; a wonderful community resource). It was really great — a charming and clever story about a young woman who applies to be Baba Yaga’s assistant, using her knowledge of folklore to pass various tests. It’s emotional but not at all saccharine. A fun read, probably good for tweens and up?
