When Tasha builds a snow girl with her grandpa, all she wants is for her to be real. If only wishes on snow could come true... Then Tasha meets Alyana, a friend made of wishes, starlight, snowfall and magic. But when your best friend is made of winter, what do you do when spring comes?

The Island of Morovia is shaped like a broken heart. The humans live on one side of the island, and the alkonosts - the bird-people - live on the other. But it wasn't always this way...

Linnet wishes she could sing magic, like her father, Nightingale - and bring the two sides of her island together again. For her land has been divided by a terrible tragedy, and Linnet has been banished with her father to the deepest swamps, leaving behind her best friends, Hero and Silver.

So when her father is captured, Linnet must be brave and embark on a treacherous journey. Through alligator pools and sinking sands, she finds new friends. Yet without her singing magic, Linnet discovers something even more powerful. Something that could save her father, and heal the broken heart of her island once more...

With themes of grief, trust, love, and that we have more in common than that which divides us, this is a heartfelt book filled with adventure and stunning storytelling from bestselling Sophie Anderson.

All 12-year-old Marinka wants is a friend. A real friend. Not like her house with chicken legs. Sure, the house can play games like tag and hide-and-seek, but Marinka longs for a human companion. Someone she can talk to and share secrets with. But that's tough when your grandmother is a Yaga, a guardian who guides the dead into the afterlife. It's even harder when you live in a house that wanders all over the world... carrying you with it. Even worse, Marinka is being trained to be a Yaga. That means no school, no parties - and no playmates that stick around for more than a day.
So when Marinka stumbles across the chance to make a real friend, she breaks all the rules... with devastating consequences. Her beloved grandmother mysteriously disappears, and it's up to Marinka to find her - even if it means making a dangerous journey to the afterlife.

Зовні Маринка — звичайна дванадцятирічна дівчинка, допитлива, кмітлива й доволі симпатична. Але в неї й досі немає друзів. Важко з кимось потоваришувати, якщо твій будинок має курячі лапи і зривається з одного місця на інше, коли йому заманеться. До того ж навколо нього завжди вештаються мертві, яких твоя бабуся (до речі, справжня Баба Яга!) випроваджує на той світ. Не дивно, що Маринка не в захваті від перспективи стати наступною Ягою і весь час піклуватися про мертвих. Її найзаповітніша мрія — бути серед живих!

Маринке двенадцать лет, и она очень хочет, чтобы у нее наконец-то появились друзья. Настоящие, а не избушка на курьих ножках. Конечно, и с ней можно поиграть в догонялки и прятки, но живой человек, согласитесь, куда лучше! Увы, найти друга невозможно, когда твой дом не стоит на месте, а твоя бабушка, точнее Баба-яга, каждую ночь провожает мертвых в потусторонний мир. Маринка должна стать следующей Ягой, но точно знает - это не ее судьба. Ее судьба - в мире живых людей. Следуя за своими желаниями, однажды она обнаруживает, что любимая бабушка куда-то исчезла, мертвые больше не приходят к избушке и Великий жизненный цикл нарушился. Маринка…
