An old world fairy tale of three sisters living under the thumb of their oppressive wizard father. Snakes, goblins, and other enchanted creatures live in the garden and woods of their home preventing outsiders from coming in without an invitation as well as keeping the sisters trapped within. Marlinchen is the youngest and while not as beautiful as her two older sisters, she is just as talented of a witch. They dare not disobey their father who turned their mother into a bird and would do that or worse to the girls for the smallest offense. When they do find a way around the charm and escape one night to the ballet, Marlinchen will fall for a handsome dancer who will change her life. Proving that a woman in love and angry possesses power like no other, Marlinchen must find a way to help her dancer and escape her father's powerful clutches. Eastern European style fairy tale that screams girl power is just what fierce readers of tales like THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE and other re-tellings of classic Brothers Grimm need in their book pile. 4 stars
