The Curse of Madame Petrova
Marjolijn Hof, illustrated by Annette Fienieg
Silke and her twin brother Janis were predicted by Madame Petrova to kill one another. Now orphans, they fake their deaths and flee cruel cousins who inherited their family estate. Silke plans for their future, while Janis wants to make art and spend time with animals. They survive through Silke’s hunting and Janis’s carved wooden spoons until, while selling in town, they meet Loore and Ranno and are invited into a traveling wagon. Loore wants Silke as an apprentice, while Ranno trains a dancing bear that fascinates Janis.
