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 shes 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 witchs house, the witch grabs hold of the closest thing possible to transform the flying, flaming rockand that would be Mirkas hair. The meteor is changed, all right: Its now Mirkas identical twin.

Doppelganger Mirka, vowing to be a better version of the real girl, sets out to charm all of Hereville, including Mirkas 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.
