☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Barry Deutsch's Hereville series continues the adventures of young Mirka, an Orthodox Jewish girl with a knack for fantasy and sword-fighting. When a meteorite crashes near her home, Mirka must navigate a new set of magical challenges, including a mischievous meteorite creature, while balancing her family life and community expectations. The collection maintains the series' blend of folklore-inspired fantasy and everyday realism, with Deutsch's detailed black-and-white artwork bringing the whimsical yet grounded story to life.
In "How Mirka Met a Meteorite," Mirka’s quiet life takes a wild turn when a troll accidentally sends a meteor hurtling into town—only for the local witch to transform it into a perfect double named Metty. Written and illustrated by Barry Deutsch, this whimsical tale follows Mirka and her uncanny duplicate as they compete to see who’s truly the best at being Mirka, with judges Rochel and Zindel delivering a surprising verdict. The cover by Barry Deutsch captures the moment of cosmic confusion, and the story unfolds with warmth and charm in a 2012 release priced at $16.95.

When the troll inadvertently vectors a meteor into the town, Mirka just manages to get word to the witch, who transforms the meteor into the first thing she can think of -- a double of Mirka. Soon named Metty, the double insists on sharing Mirka's life, and turns out to be better at it than Mirka is. They agree to a competition on who can be the best Mirka; judges Rochel and Zindel rule that even though Metty did better in the contests, Mirka is best at being Mirka. Metty returns to space, abandoning Mirka on the way. Mirka gets home with help from the moon.
