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.

"A well-crafted addition to a truly distinctive series." --SchoolLibrary Journal (Starred Review)

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.
