Summary: Yanka is already different from the other people in her village: She's stronger, bigger, and a foundling from the cave of the great bear. When she wakes one day to find she's grown bear legs, Yanka decides to venture into the forest to discover the truth about where she belongs. A beautiful fantasy adventure then enfolds, in which Yanka learns she can speak to animals, meets a house on chicken legs (readers of Anderson's first novel will recognize some characters), and starts to find her own place in the world.
Straight Talk for Librarians: This fantasy adventure is woven through with magic and Russian folklore, and will appeal to fans of Anderson's first novel as well as fans of Kelly Barnhill. Hand to readers looking for a gentle adventure of self-discovery with friends appearing along the way.
