Synopsis

Instead of traveling to Russia with mom and dad, ten-year-old Alex and his nine-year-old sister Katie are stuck in a creepy old house with their weird Aunt Karina. Alex thinks that his summer is ruined. But then the kids discover a portal that leads them into the magical world of the Firebird. That world quickly becomes dangerous. The kids search for the way back, but instead find Baba Yaga, the Russian witch. "We got a little lost," Alex says to Baba Yaga. "And now you may get a little eaten!" she responds. Can Alex and Katie get back to their aunt's house? Or will they become Baba Yaga's latest victims?

About this title

About the Author:

Julia Gousseva was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. As she grew up, she saw her country go through dramatic social, economic, and political changes in the early 1990's. Her fiction is influenced by her life experiences and her love of Russian fairy-tales (no, the promise of the bright communist future is not one of her favorite fairy-tales -- she prefers happy endings). Julia lives in Arizona with her husband and her son.
