Welcome to Hereville, home of wisecracking, adventure-loving, sword-wielding Orthodox Jewish heroine Mirka. A delightful mix of fantasy, adventure, cultural traditions and pre-teen commotion, this fun, quirky graphic novel series has captivated 8-12 year olds with its exciting visuals and entertainingly unique heroine. In her third adventure, Mirka is still the only monster-fighting girl in town . . . except for a little new competition from Layele, her six-year-old sister, who is determined to get them both into trouble. Unluckily for babysitter Mirka, one very cranky magic fish whos had a run-in with Mirkas family before is determined to cause as much trouble as it can. No matter how hard Mirka fights this fish-out-of-watereven with the help of a not-so-helpful Trollthe fish just gets stronger. Shes going to have to find a way to trick it into leaving her and her family alone before she gets in too deep!

**STARRED REVIEW**

 

"Though the expressive and often humorous illustrations in this graphic novel do much to convey each scene's tone and highlight important characters and objects, words make the world go 'round here. (Check out Mirka's punctuation-marked skirt!)"
