Baba Yaga's Assistant is the superlative new graphic novel written by Marika McCoola and illustrated by Emily Carroll, who brought us the eerily wonderful graphic Through the Woods. I am a HUGE fan of fairy tales (my secret dream is to get a PhD in fairy tales and write a killer dissertation) and always excited to see a story that features one of the lesser known (to Americans) characters like Baba Yaga in a story. The main character, Masha, runs away to become Baba Yaga’s assistant because she’s unhappy with her father’s intended new wife (weirdly, a woman she’s never met before). The confusing and complicated plotlines pile up from there. Marika McCoola Author Illustrator.
