This book appeared on my Twittersphere sometime last year. Marinka sets out to change her destiny, but her house has other ideas. Marinka is destined to become the next Yaga, and follow in her grandmother’s footsteps. It is her job to guide spirits from the world of the living to the next work. Marinka dreams of a normal life, where she stays in one place long enough to make friends, but that is impossible. ( The House With Chicken Legs by Sophie Andersen. A lonely, bleak place at the edge of civilization. It might walk a hundred miles, or it might walk a thousand, but where it lands is always the same. Two or three times a year, without warning, it stands up in the middle of the night and walks away from where we have been living.
