She battles a very large, very menacing pig. But that doesn't stop the plucky girl from honing her skills by fearlessly stands up to local bullies. There'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. Spunky, strong-willed eleven-year-old Mirka Herschberg isn'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. A young Orthodox Jewish girl embarks on a fantastical adventure in this acclaimed graphic novel for preteens-"a terrific story, told with skill" ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).
