 Mirka dreams of becoming a dragon-slayer while her stepmother tries to get her to focus on knitting. Everything changes when she steals a grape. Suddenly a pig starts chasing her around, eating her homework, and making her life miserable. Everyone thinks she's making up the mischievous pig, so she develops a plan to catch the troublesome swine as proof. Soon she's consulting with a witch, battling trolls, and risking her life to get her own sword. When her dreams start to come true will she rise to meet the challenge--or will she discover she's stuck in a nightmare?
As the tagline reads, Mirka is "Yet another troll-fighting 11 year old orthodox Jewish girl." The book is full of humour both written and visual. The troll has a lovely old-world feel but also brags about its treasure of a "shirt once worn by J.K. Rowling. No rips." Really this comic is worth it for the knitting battle scene alone. Hereville is a great fantasy adventure comic that is sure to entertain.
