What the Book Is About
Evie Walman is going into 8th grade, and she knows two things: she doesn’t want — or need — friends, and she’s going to take over her parents’ Jewish funeral home when she grows up. The mean girls at school make fun of her, but they don’t understand how important Evie’s parents’ work is.
Jewish Content & Values
- Evie and Oren and their families are Jewish. Evie is going into 8th grade at Beit Sefer, a Jewish day school.
- Evie’s parents run a Jewish funeral home and observe all of the rituals and traditions related to caring for and burying the deceased.
- Core Jewish values such as kindness to strangers and comforting mourners are central to the story.
Content Advisory
Although there is nothing graphic in this book, the story does center on the experience of a 13-year-old boy who loses both parents in a car accident. While the author handles these difficult and important topics with sensitivity, the subject matter may be challenging for some readers.
