New Wayward Children book!

Nadya is a Russian girl who was born with one hand, and she never felt she lacked anything until she got an awkward prosthetic arm she didn't want. It's a good lesson that sometimes you genuinely want to help someone, but you're offering something that doesn't actually help them, and you should maybe ask them what they want. Also, sometimes parents have this image of what is appropriate for a kid and they don't care what the kid actually wants, like when you want a turtle and your parents get you a cat and you don't even like cats.

Nadya's world is a world of rivers and lakes and talking foxes and giant turtles carrying ships. I love water-y worlds, so I liked this one a lot, and I also liked Nadya. But now I can't help wondering what will happen when she returns, since growth happens differently on the two sides of the door.
