From the Publisher:
With pitch-perfect insight into adolescent angst and infatuation, family tensions, and the experience of being Jewish in contemporary Berlin, Holly-Jane Rahlens paints a humorous and surprisingly moving portrait of a determined heroine poised to charm young readers across the globe. Includes a glossary of foreign terms.
From the Author:
Holly-Jane Rahlens says, "I wrote this book to remind myself and all my readers that life is not simply black and white. In other words, the smartest girl in the class can actually sometimes be the dumbest. An enfant terrible can turn out to be Prince Charming. We can put our faith in the laws of science, yet still embrace our religious roots. And even a city with a dark past like Berlin can, indeed, become a haven of light."
