Hereville: How Mirka Caught a Fish (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781419708008)

Mixing adventure, cultural traditions, squabbling siblings, and preteen commotion, Charles M. Schulz Award-winning cartoonist Barry Deutsch's graphic novel Hereville: How Mirka Caught a Fish is sure to captivate readers with its exciting visuals and indomitable heroine.

Welcome back to Hereville, where Mirka, the world's first time-traveling, monster-fighting Orthodox Jewish girl, faces her greatest challenge yet: babysitting! Mirka just wants to find new adventures, but instead she's stuck babysitting her disapproving little sister, Layele.

When Mirka pushes her sister into a stream, they both get in too deep with an angry magic fish. No matter how hard Mirka fights this fish-out-of-water, it gets stronger and stronger--and it's out for revenge. Mirka is in over her head, and this time, her whole family is on the line! When the fish kidnaps Layele, Mirka must find a way to save her little sister, and the clues she needs are hidden in her stepmother Fruma's past.
