Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword

Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword

Spunky, strong-willed eleven-year-old Mirka Herschberg isnâ€™t interested in knitting lessons from her stepmother, or how-to-find-a-husband advice from her sister, or you-better-not warnings from her brother. Thereâ€™s only one thing she does want: to fight dragons!

Granted, no dragons have been breathing fire around Hereville, the Orthodox Jewish community where Mirka lives, but that doesnâ€™t stop the plucky girl from honing her skills. She fearlessly stands up to local bullies. She battles a very large, very menacing pig. And she boldly accepts a challenge from a mysterious witch, a challenge that could bring Mirka her heartâ€™s desire: a dragon-slaying sword! All she has to do is findâ€”and outwitâ€”the giant troll whoâ€™s got it!

A delightful mix of fantasy, adventure, cultural traditions, and preteen commotion, Hereville will captivate middle-school readers with its exciting visuals and entertaining new heroine.
