OLDER FICTION

Vodník

(4) YA Tomas's worries of culture shock upon moving to Slovakia are subsumed into larger concerns about saving his cousin’s life, stopping a Vodník from stealing souls, and outsmarting Death herself. The wry humor and likable protagonist are dulled a bit by too many convenient plot twists, but the unusual setting and intriguing elements from Slovakian fairy tales save the day.
