Parent Guide
This offbeat graphic novel (a prequel to Hereville: Mirka and the Meteorite) is set in a fictitious Jewish shtetl called Hereville. The heroine, Mirka, is not your typical eleven year-old Orthodox Jewish shtetl girl. She despises knitting and dreams of fighting and slaying monsters ... although she’s not very good at it. When she’s offered an opportunity to win her very own sword, she discovers that having a clever plan is useful, especially if your opponent is stronger (and has better knitting skills!)
