She battles a very large, very menacing pig. She fearlessly stands up to local bullies. Granted, no dragons have been breathing fire around Hereville, the Orthodox Jewish community where Mirka lives, but that doesn't stop the plucky girl from honing her skills. There's only one thing she does want: to fight dragons! 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. Yet another troll-fighting 11-year-old Orthodox Jewish girl!
