David is worried about a lot of things, especially being bombed by the Soviets! That's why he's agreeing to help build an underground bunker with a boy from school, Scott. But Scott doesn't like David's best friend, Hector. And David still doesn't know how he can talk to Kelli Ann, a girl from school! He's also worried about his two grandmothers, because one is Chinese and does not normally keep kosher, but the other is Jewish and does keep kosher. On top of that, David's bar mitzvah is coming up, and his family doesn't have the money for a really fancy one. David wants to please both his grandmothers while staying in the budget. But since they're fighting all the time, it's pretty hard. This is a funny story that I thought was really well written.
It's a great book
It showed me that even if you are two different religions, still keep on going your way, there is no way to be wrong to choose, also, bar mitzvah can be challenging.
this book was really REALLY good. there were a couple small scary parts, but not only could he get thru them, but learned a lot along the way. i liked how he came up with funny ideas & thoughts. the jewish & chinese parts were really good too. i enjoyed this book.
