The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson

This month Humanities and AR teacher, Miss Ackers, has sent in her 'pick'...

Marinka dreams of a normal life, where her house stays in one place long enough for her to make friends. But her house has chicken legs and moves on without warning.

For Marinka's grandmother is Baba Yaga, who guides spirits between this world and the next. Marinka longs to change her destiny and sets out to break free from her grandmother's footsteps, but her house has other ideas...

This book was recommended to me by a Year 8 student, and I loved it immediately. It’s full of magic and family and love. I raced through it in a couple of days, and I’d definitely recommend it to any students who want to get lost in their book for a while!
