The Truth About My Bat Mitzvah

131 pp. | Simon | March, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-3558-2 $15.99
(3) 4-6 Seventh-grader Caroline noncommittally calls herself "half Jewish, half Christian." After her Jewish grandmother dies, Caroline wonders about her own heritage; she wears her nana's Star of David necklace and even considers becoming a bat mitzvah like her best friend. Caroline's struggle to reconcile religion and identity is treated gently and perceptively by Baskin and will resonate with similarly conflicted tweens.
