Hereville reviewed on Burnt Wieners

A very nice review of Hereville from John on the Burnt Wieners website. I’m told they’ll also talk about Hereville on an upcoming podcast.

From the review (click through to read the whole thing):

The supporting characters of the book are very strong indeed, lending their own special brand of support (and obstacles) in Mirka’s quest to become a monster queller. Fruma, Mirka’s stepmother, is very enigmatic with her knowledge of witches and monsters, and make one wonder if maybe she was at one time very much like Mirka.

The writing is sharp and clever, while also educating the reader in some of the aspects of Jewish culture, often times in a very casual way, so maybe a kid doesn’t even know they are learning. GASP! And the author, Barry Deutsch, has a lively and unforgettable art style that will stick with the reader long after the book is over.

Thanks, John!
