“Comics, and the rest of the world, for that matter, need more girl heroes like Mirka. She will have readers cheering for her every step of the way.” —Raina Telgemeier, Drama; Smile; The Baby-sitters Club graphic novels

A delightful mix of fantasy, adventure, cultural traditions, and preteen commotion, Hereville will captivate middle-school readers with its exciting visuals and entertaining heroine.

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. There’s only one thing she does want: to fight dragons!

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. She fearlessly stands up to local bullies. She battles a very large, very menacing pig.

And she boldly accepts a challenge from a mysterious witch, a challenge that could bring Mirka her heart’s desire: a dragon-slaying sword! All she has to do is find—and outwit—the giant troll who’s got it!

Better than what we were using.
Size: 7-pc, Color: Brown
I grew tired of going for a knife only to find that what we had were dull, pitted and bent tips. So I gathered them all up, sorted through them and threw the worst of the worst out. Discovered long ago that those expensive knife sharpeners don’t work either. So I purchased this set as a throwaway set. I’ll use them until they too have seen thier better days and then buy another set.

I wish there was an instruction manual
Size: 10-pc, Color: Black/Stainless Steel, Size: 10-pc, Color: Black/Stainless Steel
I chose this set because somehow other options out there involves more than 1 bread knife and less variety of other knives for some reason and I don’t eat bread. Also I know that this brand is a sister brand of Zwilling which my dad is a fan of so I’m pretty sure of the quality and the sharpness. When I say I wish there was a manual was because 1. I’m not a chef. Nor did I take up any culinary class, so I wish there’s at least a pamphlet in the set to identify which knife does what or what people actually use them for before I use everything randomly, which also works, but I’d like to use them correctly since I bought a decent set. And yes I know I can google it. Just saying would be nice if it comes with one. 2. I wish there was a direction for the block for which knife belongs to which hole. I am pretty sure that usually the blocks would have different depths and the knives come with different lengths. So it would be great to have that indication before I mess up the tip. All in all, it is a really nice set. It is sharp as the other reviews mentioned in their videos. Do handle with care and don’t cut yourself when you’re unpacking them. Knife is sharp.

Thinner than I expected
Size: 7-pc, Color: Brown
This set of knives just arrived and of course, brand new knives look so good. Upon closer inspection I noticed that these knives are not as heavy as the ones they are replacing (not Henckels) and the metal blades actually flex a little when torqued. I am not too thrilled with the scissors either. They also seem flimsy and don't seat all that well in their slot in the block. However, the packaging was the best I have seen in a long time. Box within a box and everything protected and wrapped separately. The wood block is heavy and beautiful. These knives were a good price and I have used Henckels before. I am sure they will do the trick and if I had wanted more heavy duty knives I would have forked over more money for a set. Edit: I am returning these knives. The thin, flexing blades just are not going to work for me. And the scissors are just too flimsy. I honestly expected better from this company.

Excelente
Size: 12-pc, Color: Gray
Quedé encantada con este vestido que compré en SHEIN. La calidad superó mis expectativas. La tela se siente muy buena, suave al tacto y con una caída hermosa que hace que el vestido se vea elegante cuando uno se lo pone. Las costuras están bien hechas y los detalles se ven muy cuidados, no parece para nada un vestido barato. Algo que me gustó mucho fue que el diseño es exactamente igual a las fotos. A veces uno compra en línea con miedo de que no llegue como se ve, pero en este caso llegó tal cual. El color es precioso, el tamaño corresponde bien a la talla y se ajusta muy bonito al cuerpo. También me sorprendió lo cómodo que es. Se puede usar tanto para una salida especial como para un evento más elegante dependiendo de cómo lo combines. La tela no es transparente y tiene buen grosor, lo que da más seguridad al usarlo. Definitivamente volvería a comprar vestidos así. Si alguien está pensando en pedirlo, de verdad lo recomiendo porque la relación calidad-precio es muy buena. Estoy muy satisfecha con mi compra.

I like these. Good solid construction.
Size: 10-pc, Color: Black/Stainless Steel, Size: 10-pc, Color: Black/Stainless Steel
It was past time for new knives. My old set Revereware was way over a dozen years old. One of the handles had broken years ago. One of the best parts of these is the full length of the blade running from tip to end of the handles ( full tang ). The blades of my old ones of went about a half inch into the handles. The blades are about the same thickness. Overall these Henckel's knives are much nicer. I especially like getting the carving knife. I have used that a lot over the years. Both of the scissors are China made. All the Henckels knives say made in India. The Revere knives all say China. I washed them all up. They all shine really nice and the handles are comfortable. I'm happy with them.
