- Book Synopsis
- From Charles M. Schulz Award---winning cartoonist Barry Deutsch, Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite continues the graphic novel series that's a delightful mix of fantasy, adventure, cultural traditions, and preteen commotion. Welcome to Hereville, home of the first-ever wisecracking, adventure-loving, sword-wielding Orthodox Jewish heroine. Mirka is back, and she's still the only sword-brandishing, monster-fighting Orthodox Jewish girl in town. Or so she thinks. When a misguided troll aims a meteor at the witch's house, the witch grabs hold of the closest thing possible to transform the flying, flaming rock-and that would be Mirka's hair. The meteor is changed, all right: It's now Mirka's identical twin. Doppelganger Mirka, vowing to be a better version of the real girl, sets out to charm all of Hereville, including Mirka's own family. Our heroine challenges the meteor girl to a three-part contest . . . and the loser will be banished from Hereville forever! This fun, quirky graphic novel series will captivate middle-school readers with its exciting visuals and entertaining heroine. "A well-crafted addition to a truly distinctive series." -School Library Journal (Starred Review) Hereville series: Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite Hereville: How Mirka Caught a Fish
