I have mixed opinions about this book. I like that this book pushes readers to see a different perspective than they are used to, especially being able to learn more about the Jewish holiday of Passover. I am Catholic so I do not know much about the Jewish religion and was able to learn more about Passover by reading this book. I like that the author explains Passover through Miriam telling it to her friend, Cissy, when Cissy was hiding in Miriam’s grandparents barn. I like that I was learning about Passover without having to read an article or passage on it, which made it feel as though I was celebrating Passover with Miriam as well. What I do not like about this book is that the end feels like a cliff hanger that I want answers to. I want to know if Miriam’s parents, cousin and uncle return to America safely because it was the whole reason why Miriam was at her grandparent’s house for Passover. I also want to know what happened to Cissy and Joe and whether they were able to find their relative in New York City. Overall, I liked this book but would have preferred a different ending. This book is about friendship and Passover. ( )
