Just got w
ind (thanks Lisa Silverman!) of this new book, due out in November from Amulet Books: Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword
Hereville started as a web comic and is about an eleven-year-old girl in an Orthodox Jewish community, and she imagines fighting dragons and she wants to train to do this. She ends up meeting a witch and troll and finally getting a sword that she can use to fight dragons. Yes, we agree, it sounds awesome.
