Book Review
Name: Isabella
Title:The witch of duva
Author/Illustrator: Leigh bardugo 

Summary: There is a family that lives at the edge of a little town near the woods. In the family there is a Mum, Dad, a little girl and a little boy. The Dad was a very clever carpenter and wood cutter. He was well liked in the little town. He used to go to other places and sell what he made for food or money. But he couldn't when the famen came because no one had anything to give for his things. Then kids Mum started to fade and became like a ghost.  Then eventually she died. By the time her Mum died the little girl, Nadia,  was almost an adult. She knew that she was too old to believe in myths but she started to think more and more about the little girls going missing in the woods. They had happened so long ago that people had begun to call them myths. Until a little girl from there villege went missing. The whole village was nervous and they became even more concerned when more girls started going missing. 

While this was happening a woman in the village was going to marry Nadia's Dad. Nadia did not like her stepmum and had a theory that she was the witch that was taking all the children. The stepmum was not very nice to Nadia ether. One day Nadia decided to run away into the woods that were said to have been eating the children. She began to follow the path into the woods. Not looking back at her house. She was so caught up in hedding forward that she forgot to check the path and by the time she looked down she was incredibly lost. A twig snapped behind her and she started running. Afraid to look behind her in case it was the monster that was taking the children. Then she came across a cottage in a clearing in the middle of the woods. She rushed inside and shut the door just in time. The house was a small house and at the stove was an old woman stirring a 
pot.  

The woman set down dinner and told Nadia to sit. Nadia knew that she shouldn't eat at a witches table but she was so overcome by hunger that she ate until she was full. Then she sat down to rest and fell asleep. When she woke up the witch asked her what she most wanted. Nadia anwserd “ I want to go home”, “ then go home” the witch said. “ I cant” Nadia whispered. “ Then help me stir the pot,” the witch said. This carried on for a couple of days. While at the witch's house Nadia learned how to make the most delicious dishes and the strange concoctions. At night Nadia watched hidden as the witch greated the strange people that came to her door. The witch always asked them the same question. “ what do you most want?”. They answered and she gave them a concoction that helped. One day the witch asked Nadia what she most wanted again. Nadia answered. “ I want the witch that takes children gone and I want my father free of the witch that takes his money, I want to go home”. The witch then said, “ Is this what you really want?”. “Yes,” Naida said.  

The witch then made a gingerbread girl and turned Nadia into a crow. She then sent them off on the path to get back to the village. When she got home the gingerbread girl knocked on the door.  Her Dad opened the door and greeted his fake daughter warmley. Nadia's stepmom appeared at the door and her expression was sad. As Nadia looked at the scene through her bird eyes she was a bit disappointed. She had hoped that one look at the gingerbread girl would send her screaming away. But it didn't. Her father took her inside. He told the stepmom to go. On her way out Karina, the stepmom stopped and looked at the crow squawking at her furiously.  She throws a stone at Nadia and Nadia dodges it by an inch.  Then  Karina says “ go, some things are better not seen.” Nadia ignores this and continues watching the fake girl and her Dad from the window. 
Inside her dad cradles the gingerbread girl and sobes into her shoulder. He starts blubbering about being sorry and about how he tried to stop and that he was so very sorry.  The next morning he is found dead and underneath the floorboards are the possessions of the girls that went missing. 

In the end, Nadia goes back to helping the witch “stir the pot”,  Karina moves into a different village, and her brother becomes a hero. Fighting in wars and winning. Most of the time.
