Review by Elana

I give the book The Dubious Pranks of Shaindy Goodman a five star review! It is a fast-paces story filled with details, surprises, and mind-blowing twists. The themes of this book revolve around the struggles with friendship, Judaism, family, and middle school. It makes you think about what rules are worth bending, and unintended consequences. I loved the way that the author gives each character more depth than most books I have read. I would recommend this book to people who like characters who are complex and stories that explore the fine line between good and bad. I hope you enjoy The Dubious Pranks of Shaindy Goodman. See you next book!

I've read it a lot, and it's a great adventure. I have it memorized. I can also relate to the main character in some parts. It's a great book.

Pretty Good

Review by stwie

I think that this book is pretty good, since I like the main lesson and characters. In the middle of it talks a lot about sadness and hatred which made me feel uncomfortable. Though I didn't like that the book ends off happier. Overall ,I think this book was pretty good.
