Those looking for a gift for kids who like comics and adventure stories can\u2019t go wrong with \u201cHereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite\u201d (Amulet) by author\/illustrator Barry Deutsch. This highly anticipated sequel to the 2010 Sydney Taylor Award-winning graphic novel has nothing to do with the holiday of Chanukah, but it would certainly make a fabulous gift. […]<\/p>\n

Kids will love the zany plot and the brilliance of the art that proves superior at conveying typical childhood emotions with great empathy. What a treat to have Mirka back! Parents and relatives of 9- to 12-year-olds of any denomination who like comics, reading or action surely won\u2019t go wrong by picking up the first two volumes of this witty and popular new series for middle-grade readers. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
