Unique Graphic Novel

This was innovative - a graphic novel with fantastic artwork, about "yet another troll-fighting 11-year-old orthodox Jewish girl". I learned a lot about orthodox Judaism, and had a hard time tearing myself away from the story. I hope there are sequels!
My kids (aged 14 and 9) loved it, too.
