Eight-year-old Bella Brown thought her grandma’s stories about Baba Yaga, Koschei the Deathless, and the domovoi were just tall tales… until she meets Pip, a tiny blue-haired, orange-skinned domovoi, in her own living room.

When Pip loses the magical key that protects his world, Bella must help him find it before sunrise, otherwise Sinti, the evil immortal sorcerer, will find a way into Pip’s world and steal all the domovoi magic.

With only her wits, a glowing locket, and a bit of stardust magic, can Bella and Pip save the day?

Join Bella on a whimsical late-night adventure filled with shape-shifting shenanigans, kitchen capers, and the power of believing in the extraordinary. Perfect for young readers who love a sprinkle of magic in their bedtime stories.

Discover the wonder that hides in plain sight in this enchanting tale of friendship, bravery, and the magic of helping others.

Introducing the domovoi to American children’s literature for the very first time. Inspired by real Slavic bedtime stories carried across the ocean by the author’s grandmother, Yetta.

While the domovoi in the Bella Brown books are family-friendly and kid-fun, domovoi are ancient Slavic household guardian spirits rooted in real Eastern European folklore tradition, older, wilder, and far more interesting than the house elves you might already know from Harry Potter and similar stories.
