A Wolf for a Spell - Karah Sutton

nThe enchanting tale of a wolf who forms an unlikely alliance with Baba Yaga to save the forest from a wicked tsar. nKarah Sutton has crafted a vivid and rollicking adventure that proves a wolf doesn't have to be big or bad to win the day! --Rosanne Parry, New York Times bestselling author of A Wolf Called Wander n nSince she was a pup, Zima has been taught to fear humans--especially witches--but when her family is threatened, she has no choice but to seek help from the witch Baba Yaga.

n nBaba Yaga never does magic for free, but it just so happens that she needs a wolf's keen nose for a secret plan she's brewing . . .

Before Zima knows what's happening, the witch has cast a switching spell and run off into the woods, while Zima is left behind in Baba Yaga's hut--and Baba Yaga's body! n nMeanwhile, a young village girl named Nadya is also seeking the witch's help, and when she meets Zima (in Baba Yaga's form), they discover that they face a common enemy. With danger closing in, Zima must unite the wolves, the witches and the villagers against an evil that threatens them all.

n nInfused with Russian folklore and brought vividly to life in Pauliina Hannuniemi's gorgeous illustrations, Karah Sutton's magical debut is a celebration of wolves and witches, and the importance of finding common ground with our so-called enemies.n
