Salad for breakfast? Pickled watermelon for snack? Sleeping in a house just for kids instead of at home? Spending a summer in Israel isn’t at all what Molly expected!

💯 percent Awesome book 📚

Review by Anutka

I loved that the book was about going to Israel. That they are visiting family and seeing new people and places. They are going to a wedding and play with their family.

VERY Good!

Review by Lilbill

This book was really interesting because it talks about how people might live in Israel. I recommend this book for people that like to know how things are different from what we do.

Molly is nervous about leaving her friends and her beloved Bubbe to spend a month in Israel with her mom’s family. She doesn’t like change, so at first she tries to avoid adapting to Israeli life, but slowly the country and its people win her over. By the end of the trip she has bonded with her Israeli family and is sad to leave. This is a sweet book, full of warm family relationships and appealing detail about life in Israel in 1986.
