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!

Amazing book

Review by CamperSpot8216

I love this book because it shows that it’s more important to be kind, than it is to be popular!

The Dubious Pranks of Shaindy Goodman

Review by basetree123

Shaindy is just living her life until Gayil, the teacher’s pet and Shaindy’s neighbor holds up a sign saying “Want to know a secret?” and after a few ominously harmless ish pranks, things spiral out of control. But for Gayil, this was exactly how she wanted things to go. It was good but a tad bit unrealistic.
