Her father has been dead for years. One of her brothers has been conscripted into the Tsar's army, the other taken as a servant in the house of the local landowner. Her mother is dying, slowly, in their tiny cabin. And there is no food. But then a train arrives in the village, a train carrying untold wealth, a cornucopia of food, and a noble family destined to visit the Tsar in Saint Petersburg -- a family that includes Ekaterina, a girl of Elena's age. When the two girls' lives collide, an adventure is set in motion, an escapade that includes mistaken identity, a monk locked in a tower, a prince traveling incognito, and -- in a starring role only Gregory Maguire could have conjured -- Baba Yaga, witch of Russian folklore, in her ambulatory house perched on chicken legs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763672201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 68 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/24\/2014 pg. 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews Fall Preview\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2014 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/31\/2014 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Children's Starred Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/2014 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSLJ's Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Young-Adult Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In Style\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e168143 \/ Egg \u0026amp; Spoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 17\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gregory Maguire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43544053317813,"sku":"9780763672201","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_62b48e85-9b06-43b1-b680-8bd2e5ca158a.jpg?v=1706118145","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/egg-spoon-9780763672201","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
