I liked this book

Review by Petra

I enjoyed the way this book used two voices in a way that made it seem easy and clear who’s voice way who’s but was not disjointed. I would lend it to a kid who likes contemporary fiction.

Deatour Ahead

Review by runafy

This was a great book, and I really recommend it. I liked how it showed how it is often confusing for non-Jewish people to attend Jewish events.

Detour Ahead

Review by RSRSRS

A good book with two different points of view from a girl named Gilah who loves breakdancing with her bat mitzvah coming up, and a boy named Guillermo who loves poetry entering a poetry contest.

Awesome Book

Review by Adaclaire401

WOW!! This book is an amazing story about two kids bounding over an accident. It has two points of view and is just a awesome book. I recommend this for anyone who likes a bond between unlikely friends.
