Anya and the Dragon is the story of fantasy and mayhem in tenth century Eastern Europe, where headstrong eleven-year-old Anya is a daughter of the only Jewish family in her village. When her family’s livelihood is threatened by a bigoted magistrate, Anya is lured in by a friendly family of fools, who promise her money in exchange for helping them capture the last dragon in Kievan Rus. This seems easy enough, until she finds out that the scary old dragon isn’t as old—or as scary—as everyone thought. Now Anya is faced with a choice: save the dragon, or save her family.

My daughter tore through this in two evenings, and the tenth-century Eastern European setting with a Jewish protagonist felt refreshingly unique. The way Anya's headstrong personality drives the plot made it easy for her to connect with the story, and she keeps asking when we can read the next one.

Benjamin X. ★★★★★

The blend of Jewish folklore and Slavic fantasy is something I haven't seen in middle-grade books before, and my daughter couldn't put it down once Anya's village troubles started. The pacing in tenth-century Eastern Europe feels authentic without getting bogged down in history.
