Join our new graphic novel book club!. We'll chat about this month's book and enjoy a snack break! This month we're reading Baba Yaga's Assistant by Marika McCoola and illustrated by Emily Carroll. (For Grades 4+. Registration is appreciated.)

Most children think twice before braving a haunted wood filled with terrifying beasties to match wits with a witch, but not Masha. Her beloved grandma taught her many things: that stories are useful, that magic is fickle, that nothing is too difficult or too dirty to clean. The fearsome witch of folklore needs an assistant, and Masha needs an adventure. She may be clever enough to enter Baba Yaga's house-on-chicken-legs, but within its walls, deceit is the rule. To earn her place, Masha must pass a series of tests, outfox a territorial bear, and make dinner for her host. No easy task, with children on the menu!
