Brenna, 11, MA I liked this book because it took place in modern time. I could understand what was going on with Caroline better because I could relate to it. My favorite part of the book was the sleepover because I could really understand and relate to what was going on and why the girls wanted to go and didn’t want to go. I would recommend this book because it helps you understand how to stick up for someone and how to be yourself which are all very important in life. Also, it was a really quick read.

Gillian , age 11, MA Poem for The Truth About My Bat Mitzvah Nana I know the end is very near. I will miss Caroline, who I hold so dear, I shall leave behind something so she knows I’m not far. A very special necklace that holds a Jewish Star. This necklace will link her to my past. And leave her with new memories that I hope will last. More than Chinese food dinners, smell of perfume and watching me put on my face. But learning about her heritage and my past is what I hope she does embrace.
