Review: Wonderful adaptation

Even though I haven’t read the original Firebird fairy-tale, this adaptation felt right to me. It has enough of the Russian flair in it, with the exotic Russian witch, her scary mansion, and the marvelous firebird with the magical feather. At the same time, since the main characters are American kids (with a Russian aunt), the story is engaging for today’s kids who have no connection to Russia. A great start to the series!
