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!

The Dubious Pranks of Shaindy Goodman

Review by FIREFOX3514

I liked this book because it was an amazing mix of humorous and exciting. Most of the chapter breaks left you on a cliffhanger. It all starts when Shaindy's neighbor, Gayil, holds up a sign, "WANT TO KNOW A SECRET." Gayil is the kind of girl who is a teacher's pet, and as the teachers call her, "a perfect Bais Yaakov girl." Shaindy? She's basically the opposite, so it takes a big surprise when Gayil shows her a fob and asks Shaindy to start pranking people with her. But when the pranks turn worse, Shaindy doesn't get a good feeling. If the pranks turn on her, will she find a way to get out? Read the book to find out.
