My Basmati Bat Mitzvah

250 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0806-0 $16.95
(3) 4-6 How could Tara let know-it-all Sheila Rosenberg get away with saying, "You're not even Jewish," when Tara's Indian-born mother converted "way before I was even born"? With her bat mitzvah on the horizon, Tara secretly wonders: "Was I about to become more Jewish, or less Indian?" A light, warm, humorous story about cultural identity, inner harmony, and ordinary middle-school trials and tribulations. Glos.
