Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword

Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword
by Barry Deutsch
Call #: Jr. Graphic Novel DEUTS

A story of magic realism where Mirka lives in a Hasidic community, goes to school, knits and argues with her siblings, she also meets a witch, a talking pig, and a troll.

Mirka wants nothing more than to become a dragonslayer. She isn't interested in who will be picked to be her husband, or if she drops a stitch while knitting, all that occupies her mind are monsters and how to kill them.

This is the story of how she got her sword.

Highly recommended.
