still
finding the humor inherent in their situations. Scripps News

the treacherous waters of middle

that his greatness lies.

Mirka is back, and shes still the only sword-brandishing,
monster-fighting Orthodox Jewish girl in
town. Or so she thinks.
When a misguided troll aims a meteor at the witchs house, the
witch grabs hold of the closest thing
possible to transform the flying, flaming rockand that would be
Mirkas hair. The meteor is changed, all
right: its now Mirkas identical twin.
Doppelganger Mirka, vowing to be a better version of the real
girl, sets out to charm all of Hereville,
including Mirkas own family. Our heroine challenges the meteor
girl to a three-part contest . . . and the
loser will be banished from Hereville forever!

Spunky, strong-willed eleven-year-old Mirka Herschberg isnt
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. Theres 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 doesnt 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 hearts
desire: a dragon-slaying sword! All she
has to do is findand outwitthe giant troll whos got it!

Pine City Porcupines batboy Chad breaks an important unofficial
rule of baseball: Dont talk to the
starting pitcher when hes got a perfect game going, where not a
single opponent has reached base.
Now, because Chad opened his mouth, the entire Pines dugout is
upset, and the team may lose to the
second-to-last-place West Valley Varmints. Chad has to consult
his baseball card collection to figure
out how to help his beloved Pines pull off the perfect game.

BY L AuREN MYR ACLE
Life for the Flower Power girls is never boring. With Milla
still madly in crush with sweet Max,
Katie-Rose is left wondering why everyone doesnt find
fifth-grade boys as disgusting as she does.
Especially pesky, annoying Preston, whose new favorite pastime
is throwing erasers at Katie-Roses
head and who always seems to be around at Katie-Roses most
embarrassing moments. Yasaman
isnt quite ready for a boyfriend either, but she does have a
brilliant matchmaking plan for two of her
favorite people, and she recruits the other girls to join. The
targets: beloved teachers Mr. Emerson
and Ms. Perez, who are meant for each other, even if they dont
know it. The goal: to bring those
lovebirds together at their schools Lock-In, a
teacher-chaperoned evening of fun, fabulosity, and
possibly even romance. The trouble? Ms. Perez isnt planning on
coming. And when the fourth flower
friend, Violet, mysteriously pulls out, too, it seems as if the
Lock-In will be no fun at all. But these
flowers dont wilt so easily . . .
