Story: 5 stars 
 Art: 5 stars 
 Children's graphic novel with Orthodox Jewish characters and some fantasy elements thrown into the mix. Characterization is superb. Story line is interesting. Very original series. Art is above average. 
 I've never encountered a children's book that incorporates religion so well into the story. The Jewish-ness isn't just an incidental part of the characters to add some flavor; it defines who the characters are. The Jewish customs and culture are woven tightly into the plot as well, but don't overtake it or reduce any of the entertainment value. In fact, the enjoyment of the book is actually increased by the Jewish aspects. 
 This third installment in the Hereville series is phenomenal. The plot twists, the intense conflicts, the depth of emotions, the character growth, and the vivid art all combine to make this one of the very best graphic novels I've ever read. Barry Deutsch is really hitting his stride with this series. I would love to see it continue.
