Hereville: How Mirka Caught a Fish by Barry Deutsch
The first ever wisecracking, troll-fighting, Orthodox Jewish heroine! Mirka, a spunky, strong-willed, eleven-year-old girl, is very clear on one thing: she doesn't want to sit home knitting, she wants to go out and fight dragons! Granted, no dragons have been breathing fire around the Orthodox Jewish community she lives in, but that doesn't stop the plucky girl from honing her fighting skills (against local bullies), accepting a witch's challenge (to gain a sword), and besting a troll (when knitting does come in handy). This charming, quirky, skillfully rendered graphic novel is Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Isaac Bashevis Singer. story sure to appeal to middle-school readers.
Barry Deutsch attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and Portland State University. He has won awards for his work, most notably the national Charles M. Schultz award for best college cartoonist. He was nominated for the 2008 Russ Manning Award for Promising Newcomer.
