An extraordinary retelling of the Baba Yaga myth, this debut novel will wrap itself around your heart and never let go. 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…

Маринке двенадцать лет, и она очень хочет, чтобы у нее наконец-то появились друзья. Настоящие, а не избушка на курьих ножках. Конечно, и с ней можно поиграть в догонялки и прятки, но живой человек, согласитесь, куда лучше! Увы, найти друга невозможно, когда твой дом не стоит на месте, а твоя бабушка, точнее Баба-яга, каждую ночь провожает мертвых в потусторонний мир. Маринка должна стать следующей Ягой, но точно знает - это не ее судьба. Ее судьба - в мире живых людей. Следуя за своими желаниями, однажды она обнаруживает, что любимая бабушка куда-то исчезла, мертвые больше не приходят к избушке и Великий жизненный цикл нарушился. Маринка…

Зовні Маринка — звичайна дванадцятирічна дівчинка, допитлива, кмітлива й доволі симпатична. Але в неї й досі немає друзів. Важко з кимось потоваришувати, якщо твій будинок має курячі лапи і зривається з одного місця на інше, коли йому заманеться. До того ж навколо нього завжди вештаються мертві, яких твоя бабуся (до речі, справжня Баба Яга!) випроваджує на той світ. Не дивно, що Маринка не в захваті від перспективи стати наступною Ягою і весь час піклуватися про мертвих. Її найзаповітніша мрія — бути серед живих!
