THis book is pretty good I give it a 4/5. It was an easy read for me but it is probably good for kids about 8-11. I thought it gives a really good idea of the story of Hanukkah but less graphic (PUN INTENDED!)

was a, WORRIER AWSOME story.🧨🧨

...How did Jason and Jonathan become friends that quickly? How did they know English? Why did Jonathan teach Jason his secret move? JJJJason and JJJJonathan?

I liked it, but it was a little plain I still recommend it though!
