A long time ago, a girl named Bean lived in old-age Kyiv’s Podil. At that time, many inhabitants of the city could turn into birds or animals. Bean was a werewolf squirrel, which means she could turn into a squirrel. Once a mysterious and elusive villain, the Midnight Glutton, appeared in the city. Bean's dad, the Witcher Beth, was trying to find a way to scare away the intruder. Thus, Bean and her fairy friend Patykoslav go on a journey through the dangerous and strange neighbourhoods of Kiev to find magical herbs for the Beet. Squirrel Bean and the Midnight Glutton by Halyna Tkachuk was shortlisted for BBC Book of the Year 2019.
