Okay, now I want to tell you about the recent Jewish kidlit book that I've been listening to with with my family during the spring break road trips. So this one is called Aviva versus the Dybbuk written by Mari Lowe. This was just released in 2022. I actually discovered this book on one of the blogs that Heidi shared with me. It's called the Sydney Taylor Shmooze mock award blog, that she's involved with, it is a wonderful site. It provides reviews of Jewish kidlit. So the books mentioned on this blog may not necessarily win this, the Sydney Taylor Award that Heidi talked about. But these are books to keep in mind: the Sydney Taylor Shmooze. It's the mock award blog created to encourage discussion of books eligible for the Sydney Taylor Book Award over the course of the year. And basically the purpose is to grow awareness of criteria for the award and to help readers consider Jewish literature for youth. So this, I think it's fair to say, would be a contender. And anyone who listens to the show knows one of my missions while offering constructive comments on those super popular books is also to shine a light on those books that aren't quite as popular. And this book fits in perfectly. Like I said, it's brand new. And when I look on Goodreads, it only has 31 ratings. So Aviva versus the Dybbuk. This is a debut novel. And when I went to the author's website, I will also share that in the show notes, I really like this, she describes why she wanted to write this book. And she explains that she really wanted to depict the world where she grew up, she writes, "as a middle schooler, I rarely read Jewish books, because few of them felt as though I was reading about myself. And today, I find that most mainstream children's fiction about Orthodox Jews, is historical fiction that takes place during the Holocaust," which is exactly what Heidi just said. So this world with Aviva has nothing to do with the Holocaust, you guys, this is our sixth grade Aviva. And from the second you open this book, you are immersed into Jewish culture. Like I said, I'm kind of recording this as I've been listening to it with my kids. And we're down to, as I said, the final hour. And I will tell you that my family isn't Jewish. And because this book just really does immerse you into the Jewish setting today. It's the perfect opportunity to you know, you hear a phrase, one of the kids says, what's that phrase? What's a dybbuk? Right, so of course, she explains what a dybbuk is in the book, but we didn't know that phrase. So certainly, we're Googling it and trying to figure it out. When you Google it, you know, the Google monster, if you will, tells you that dybbuk is Jewish folklore, and mythology believes that dybbuk is a malicious spirit believed to be a dislocated soul of a dead person. So here, Aviva's dybbuk, we're not sure not maybe not quite as malicious, but very, very mischievous, big time prankster, causing lots of problems. So Aviva lives with her mom in an apartment above the town's mikvah, which my family, which we learned is a ritual bath. And there's a lot of really interesting information about that, again, that I, we found really interesting and fascinating and began again researching that. But what happens is you realize right away that Aviva and her mom have lost their dad, he has died, the mom is in a very deep depression. And Aviva is is missing her dad, of course, as well, she's struggling without him, she's struggling to meet friends, and all of those big time challenges that we face as middle schoolers. And then in the midst of this, there's this horrific vandalism, antisemitic vandalism that occurs, and you get to see the community's reaction, we're getting to see kind of what what's happening. And one thing that I really found interesting and as I also went to Mari's website, is that a lot of this book centers on women, right, this is really focused on female relationships she wrote, "you'll notice of Aviva's world is almost entirely female and Jewish. That's not uncommon for girls growing up in my sect of Orthodox Judaism, I went to an all girls school and camp, and I rarely spent time with any boys. The only exceptions were my brother's friends, and my friend's brothers and we had little interest in each other." It is worth noting that the dybbuk is believed to be a mischievous boy, this is one that I find to be really fascinating, entertaining, it's multi layered, you guys multi level leveled, we have characters that are again multi dimensional, and, and you've got that kind of mystical with the dybbuk. That's really fascinating getting into almost like, not quite fantasy, but feels like that which I know kids really enjoy. And, and then the challenge of grief and the challenge of middle school. So this is one that you should definitely check out and I will include this one in the show notes. I want to thank all of you for listening. I want to especially thank Heidi, for coming on the show last week talking about The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, being willing to stay on the recording with me a little longer and talking about Jewish joy just so we can just talk a little bit about it and this is something that I hope that we'll delve into further and if you do have that Everyone Loved It But Me book that you would like to see me discuss on the show, please reach out to me.
