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!

Long Mellon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review by bees

Molly is very shy with her cousins because it has been a very long time since she has seen them. She is visiting them in Israel. At first, she is very upset and doesn't understand anything that her cousins do. On top of that, she can barely understand the language! Will she ever like her cousins or understand them? Find out in this exciting book!!!!

Pickled Watermelon

Review by Merci

I liked reading Pickled Watermelon. Molly is like me because I'm going on a trip to Hungary for a month like how Molly goes to Israel. Molly is also like me because I have only met my family in Hungary once and Molly has only met her family in Israel once. This book was so good I read it twice!

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.
