| Never Mind The Goldbergs By Matthue Roth $7.99 pb Meet Hava. She's a seventeen year old New Yorker, Orthodox Jew and unorthodox in many ways. She has spiked hair, loves punk culture and likes to rock out. She's been asked to be the token Jew on a TV show about a Jewish family, but she's not an actress. She is immediately thrust into a world of make-believe and pretense and there is soon a collision of both cultures and desires -- with one headstrong heroine caught in the middle. A poignant coming of age story and a fascinating glimpse into the struggles of a young Orthodox Jew in a secular world. Young Adult. |
