Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Brave
By Marianna Mayer
Illustrated By K. Y. Craft
Reviewed by Omid K.

Baba Yaga is about an old witch that lives deep in the forest, and Vasilisa, a young girl who lives with her two evil stepsisters. The reason she lives with her evil step sisters is because her father passed away. Vasilisa's evil stepmother had cast a spell so that they couldn't have any light. Then Vasilisa had to go to Baba Yaga's house and ask her to give Vasalisa a magic spell so that they could have light. On the way to Baba Yaga's house, she saw three horsemen. When she gets to Baba Yaga's, she is faced with several tasks. Read the book to see what happens!

I would highly recommend this book because of the details given about the characters. The drawings were beautiful. Every single detail was like a masterpiece. The entire book was exquisite!
