"Mirka, the star of these unusual graphic novels, is an 11-year-old Orthodox Jewish girl who wants to fight dragons, not take knitting lessons from her stepmother. In their town of Hereville, which sometimes feels like a old world shtetl and sometime feels quite modern, Mirka and her siblings go to school, help around the house, and occasionally bicker, activities with which most young readers will easily identify. Footnotes define the Hebrew and Yiddish terms to make this charming book accessible to a wider audience... Deutsch?s uses the graphic novel format to tell a unique story that will appeal to fans of the genre, and make new ones, too." -- Marci Lavine Bloch.
