Review by Simon

I am reviewing Finn and Ezra’s Mar Mitzvah Time Loop, it is a very good book. This book is about Finn and Ezra who don’t have a lot in common – except, of course, that they’re trapped in a bar mitzvah time loop, reliving their celebrations in the same New Jersey hotel over and over again. Not ideal, particularly when both kids were ready for their bar mitzvahs to end the moment they began. Ezra comes from a big family – four siblings, all seeming to get more attention than him, even on his bar mitzvah weekend. Finn is an only child who’s tired of his parents’ constant focus, even worse on his bar mitzvah weekend. They just want to get past it, just want to grow up. And now they’re both stuck. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. No way out. Until Finn and Ezra meet and realize they’re not alone. Teaming up, they try everything they can think of to break the loop. But nothing works, and after every reset, the boys’ schemes become more desperate. As their frustrations build, the questions mount and real-life problems start to seep through the cracks. With all the time in the world, can Finn and Ezra ever figure out how to move forward? If you want to find out more read Finna and Ezra’s Bar Mitzvah Time Loop, an interesting book for everybody but especially for those who like time travel books.

Review by Zev

Both Finn and Ezra are celebrating their Bar Mitzvahs Sunday afternoon... and then it’s 1:36 PM, and they wake up in their beds on Friday morning. They are both stuck in a time loop. When they meet, Ezra and Finn decide they don’t want to relive their Bar Mitzvahs repeatedly. They will do anything – from consulting a scientist to a time loop bank heist to even winning the lottery – to get out of the loops. This book is extremely funny, and full of action. I especially liked the characters, how the authors shared the perspective between Finn and Ezra, and the plot twist at the end (sorry, no spoilers!). I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes science fiction and/or funny novels.

Great book

Review by UrPassword

It was a good book to read and it helped me learn about surviving a time-loop so if I or anyone else gets stuck in one I will know what to do

Finn and Ezra's Bar Mitzvah TIme Loop

Review by LeahSage

The book was good overall. It was exciting and unpredictable. Sometimes, though, the book just kept repeating itself. (It is a time loop book after all, but it just kept saying how they were stuck in a time loop and didn't know when they were going to get out.) I wouldn't say this book is a must-read, but if you like suspense, action, and (what some might call) ✨magic✨, you should read this book.

Finn and Ezras bar Mitzva time loop

Review by k1234

This book was ok,I liked how there were some twists but I didn't like the repetition of everything, it got a bit more boring in the middle because Finn and Ezra kept trying to get out of the time loop but didn't make it.

Finn and Ezra's Bar Mitzvah Time Loop

Review by Colette

A funny, fast-paced adventure about two boys, Finn and Ezra, who get trapped in a time loop before their Bar Mitzvahs. As they relive the same weekend, they try everything—from wild experiments to outrageous plans—to escape. With humor, friendship, and a clever twist, this is a great read for anyone who enjoys time travel, science fiction, and exciting adventures.
