I liked this book!

Review by Eitan

How would you feel if you lost all of your money? I don't think it would be very fun. Death by Toilet Paper is a story about a boy, his mom, and his Zeyde and how they have to pay their rent in time to keep their apartment house. Will they be able to pay the rent with the help of Mrs. Shneckle? The book was emotional and it made me realize that there are people in this world who are struggling. I give this book 4 stars because I like how the author made me think.

Death By Toilet Paper

Review by Brynn

This book is about a boy named Benjamin and his mom. They are getting evicted from their apartment because they can’t pay the rent. Benjamin comes up with different ways to make money and in the end he wins a contest with the help of his best friend and his Zadie. I would recommend this book because it shows how a 12-year-old can make a difference and help out his family.
