The Girl Who Speaks Bear
Twelve-year-old Yanka has always been called "the bear" by her village — a nickname earned from her unusual height and strength, but also from the secret of how she came to be. When one morning she wakes with furred paws instead of hands, the truth behind her origins begins to surface. Accompanied only by Mousetrap, a spirited weasel, Yanka ventures into the forbidden Snow Forest in search of answers about who she really is and where she belongs.
