The house with chicken legs

All 12-year-old Marinka wants is a friend. A real friend. Not like her house with chicken legs. 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. So when Marinka stumbles across the chance to make a real friend, she breaks all the rules...with devastating consequences.
