The Two Wrong Halves of Ruby Taylor by Amanda Panitch

4.0

Cloaked in a ghost story, this is really an exploration of what it means to be Jewish. It is very well done, looking at a variety of prejudices in the name of "tradition." Ruby's perfect cousin being possessed by a vengeful dybbuk will keep readers engaged, especially when she binge eats non-Kosher food. This would make a great discussion starter at Hebrew school. Highly recommended for grades 4 & up.
