A Question of Magic

Baba Yaga is a messy myth, so turning it into a youth novel seems like a stretch. All the messy has been removed and the result is kind of look at what life is like in a mobile chicken house, with the gift/curse of prophecy. The real problem is that Seraphina has a very passive role in everything that's happening. She hears everything second- or third-hand and doesn't pay enough attention to names that keep coming up, so the reader's likely to figure things out and be waiting on Seraphina to catch up.
