BABA YAGAS ASSISTANT GN Candlewick Press (W) Marika McCoola (A/CA) Emily Carroll Russian folklore icon Baba Yaga mentors a lonely teen in a wry graphic novel that balances gleefully between the modern and the timeless. Most children think twice before braving a haunted wood filled with terrifying beasties to match wits with a witch, but not Masha. Her beloved grandma taught her many things: that stories are useful, that magic is fickle, that nothing is too difficult or too dirty to clean. The fearsome witch of folklore needs an assistant, and Masha needs an adventure. She may be clever enough to enter Baba Yaga's house-on-chicken-legs, but within its walls, deceit is the rule. To earn her place, Masha must pass a series of tests, outfox a territorial bear, and make dinner for her host. No easy task, with children on the menu!	BRIGHT-EYED AT MIDNIGHT HC FantagraphicsBooks (W/A/CA) Leslie Stein Fueled by insomnia and an experimental spirit, Leslie Stein drew a page a night during 2014.

Bright-Eyed at Midnight is a meditative visual diary from an acclaimed cartoonist.
