When the fish kidnaps Layele, Mirka must find a way to save her little sister, and the clues she needs are hidden in her stepmother Fruma's past.

(Check out Mirka's punctuation-marked skirt!)" <br>-- "The Horn Book"<br><br>"Deutsch has created a wonderfully inventive world, in which fantastic creatures believably reside alongside a religious community; Mirka is a delightfully flawed heroine that nearly anyone can relate to and enjoy. Backgrounder Wallace and colorist Richmond augment Deutsch's busy panels, providing a pleasingly earth-toned setting for Mirka's latest adventure. This consistently clever and thoughtful series hasn't lost a particle of momentum."-- "Kirkus"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Barry Deutsch</b> attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City and Portland State University.
