I really liked this book the plot is great and has a major twist!!!!!!! I also like how you can see different events from that time in the eyes of a Jewish girl.

It was good but it was kind of confusing

This book could be a bit more exciting otherwise I like the story line and all of the poems.

When you become a teen, you realize that your parents aren't always right. Ari discovers this in two ways. First, her beloved older sister Leah, who always helped Ari with her problems writing, runs off to marry her sweetheart. Their parents don't approve because he's Hindu, not Jewish. Second, Ari's new teacher explains to her and her parents that the reason her handwriting is so messy and she takes a long time to write is because she has a learning disability. Her mom insists just needs to work harder. It takes Ari's bravery to bring her family back together and help her parents to start thinking differently about uncomfortable things. This is a great book that helps teens face these difficult growing up situations while staying true to themselves.

Good book and I loved how the sisters fought for each other. Not what I expected.
