Mira get a sword

Review by Unicorn2016

I love this book because there’s many series of it. I also read Harville how Mira met a meteor now this series is the best series. I’d love for you to read this book and enjoy it as much as I did. remember it it’s only 144 pages. I am 12 years old it says it’s for nine year olds so if you’re an age like me younger older, you may also like it just like me and my siblings did hope you enjoy this book. Have an amazing time.

Hereville: how Mirka got her sword

Review by Hulk

Hereville was such a good book because it had a lot of adventure, funny situations and it had a pretty decent amount of characters. Mirka was very brave and kind. However, her stepmother, Fruma was a little bit strict to Mirka. If you wonder what kind of book it is, it is a comic book with 144 pages. I recommend this book to kids who like adventure and beast slaying! If you do get this book, I hope you enjoy it!
