Ilustration Toward Books The House with Chicken Legs

All 12-year-old Marinka wants is a friend. A real friend. Not like her house with chicken legs. Sure, the house can play games like tag and hide-and-seek, but Marinka longs for a human companion. Someone she can talk to and share secrets with.
But that's tough when your grandmother is a Yaga, a guardian who guides the dead into the afterlife. It's even harder when you live in a house that wanders all over the world . . . carrying you with it. Even worse, Marinka is being trained to be a Yaga. That means no school, no parties--and no playmates that stick around for more than a day.
So when Marinka stumbles across the chance to make a real friend, she breaks all the rules . . . with devastating consequences. Her beloved grandmother mysteriously disappears, and it's up to Marinka to find her--even if it means making a dangerous journey to the afterlife.
With a mix of whimsy, humor, and adventure, this debut novel will wrap itself around your heart and never let go.

Column Out Of Books The House with Chicken Legs

A beautifully written, timeless and moving tale with a fairy tale feel. I especially loved the characterful house and Jack, the jackdaw. Andersons love of Slavic folklore and her own heritage shines through on every page. The book itself is also a joy to behold, with its beautiful cover and interior illustrations to set the mood.This is a story which focuses on the importance of shaping our own futures and cherishing life, as well as grief and letting go. I found myself moved to tears several

Received in exchange for an honest review from Usborne Publishing UK.Another version of this review can be found @ The Regal Critiques.The House With Chicken Legs is a Baba Yaga retelling, and if you're familiar with the original story you know pretty much what to expect, right? Wrong. Sophie Anderson takes this age-old Russian Folklore and spins a fantastic story with an entirely different vibe to it and it's hard to resist. We start with Marinka fed up of her nomadic life. She's had it with

A fantastical, adorable middle-grade with a unique world and perfectly flawed characters. I especially enjoyed how a bird, a sheep, and a house managed to steal my heart and pick up my mood. This is a perfect weekend read, and is a great book for kids to dive into if they want to get a taste for fantasy.

Oh. My. Goodness! What a spectacular debut! It oozes with magic and charm, and is so, SO beautifully written. This has all the markings of an MG classic. The ending is so joyous and satisfying. I wholeheartedly recommend this incredible book for any child or adult who hasn't lost their sense of adventure! Just wonderful :))))

This was so charming. If you love middle grade this is an absolute must!!!

Such an endearing heroine. Very flawed, but as she's 12, we love her anyway, and ache for her through her struggles. Immersive and visual story-telling... I was too engaged to pay attention to how the author did it, but somehow she made me feel like I was there with Marinka, smelling and tasting all that Russian food, feeling desert heat or the salt spray, hearing the jackdaw's cries and murmurs. Strong honest themes, too. And just look at that house (on the hardcover edition) - animators would

A little while back, I was scrolling through my feed on Twitter looking for books coming out in 2018 and the one that I kept returning to was this one, The House with Chicken Legs. Was it the sight of the cover, the talk of the plot or the glowing reviews from Kiran Millwood-Hargrave, Peter Bunzl and Claire Fayers that kept making me come back? OK, Ill admit it. It was all of these things but most of all, it was the title.1. How could you choose to not read a book called The House with Chicken
