Read this!!!

Best author ever. Also read Angel on the Square and Homeless Bird. Oh, Parade of Shadows, too.

Very good author

My middle-school-aged daughter is very picky about what she chooses to read. This book is part of a series of books by the same author. My daughter has read all of them and loves each one. This book is definitely worth buying and since they are set in Russia, each provides a sort of cultural experience as well.
