Wings of Fire

"Barry Deutch's Hereville is the story of Mirka, a young girl living in the orthodox Jewish community of Aherville. She is a strong-willed girl who dreams of becoming a dragon slayer, while struggling with the duties imposed by being femaile in a community that values traditional gender roles. The story is leisurely and steeped in cultural traition; even troll killing must wait until after Shabbot rituals. Smart, yet heartwaming; quiet, yet with a genuine sense of adventure."--Back cover.
