It’s the best book I’ve ever read. I’ve read it four times

I really, really, really, like Pickled Watermelon! You should pick it!

When Molly visits her mother's family in Israel for the first time, she discovers unexpected cultural differences like eating fruits and beans for breakfast and live fish at her grandfather's grocery store. She also learns that her cousins living on a kibbutz sleep in a cabin with other kids their age, not with their parents. This warm, funny story shows how Molly grows through learning about another culture and getting to know this part of her family. I also like the way it shows that although her mother and aunt don't agree about politics, they still love each other and care about Israeli society.

Just please, please pick this book! It is so good! It is about an 11-12 year old girl who is going to Israel for her uncle's wedding. In the book, I discovered my new favorite sentence! It's, "So I rubbed sunscreen on my white belly." Just read and find out what I mean!

This book was very good. I liked how it talked about the candy in Israel like Bazooka Bubble Gum (now I want to get it).
