About The Book:

Marinka dreams of a normal life, where her house stays still long enough for her to make friends. But her house has chicken legs and moves on without warning. The only people Marinka meets are dead; they disappear when her grandmother, Baba Yaga, guides them through The Gate. Marinka wants to change her destiny, but her house has other ideas... A story about finding your own destiny, even when your future seems written in the stars, perfect for fans of Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Katherine Rundell and Neil Gaiman. The book features atmospheric black and white interior illustrations by Elisa Paganelli and cover artwork by Melissa Castrillón.
