Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite

126 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | November, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0398-0 $16.95
(2) YA Irrepressible Mirka (How Mirka Got Her Sword), an eleven-year-old Orthodox Jewish wannabe warrior, races to rescue Hereville from a meteor strike. A witch transforms the meteorite into a Mirka-clone, and the story is off. Melding fantasy, realism, and imagination in this quirky graphic novel, Deutsch incorporates the particularities of traditional Judaism and the universal foibles of a girl who dreams big but forgets planning ahead.
