OLDER FICTION

It's a Whole Spiel: Love, Latkes, and Other Jewish Stories

(2) YA Edited by Katherine Locke and Laura Silverman. This anthology by Jewish authors and about Jewish teens matter-of-factly reflect details of Jewish life rarely seen in mainstream YA. The fourteen short stories also acknowledge the variety of Jewish experience, including some diversity beyond religion, mostly in terms of sexuality. A refreshing opportunity for Jewish teens of many beliefs and backgrounds to see themselves--and for others to see them--in stories that are as much about entertainment as they are about Jewishness.
