Sobre este título
It's 1986, and thirteen-year-old Yasha Reznik doesn’t understand why his parents moved them all from his Russian community of Brighton Beach to the suburbia of Rockwood, New Jersey. Sure, it may be their “American Dream,” but it’s not his. Yasha’s dream is to make it through his Bar Mitzvah, watch the New York Mets make it to the playoffs, and fit in at his new school.
But fitting in may be harder than he thinks, when he’s one of only two Russian families in town and all the kids he meets keep calling him Drago (thanks Rocky movies), even after he starts going by “Jake” instead of “Yasha.” The only person who seems to really get him is Bernie, his pal from the senior citizen home where Yasha is doing community service for his Bar Mitzvah project.
Then Bernie says his dream is also to see the Mets win the World Series. And Yasha may not know his Torah portion yet, or why he feels alone even with his new “friends,” but he does know one thing: somehow, someway, he’s going to get those tickets.
Resumo da Crítica
"A loving, carefully delineated portrayal of growth."—Kirkus
"Skillful pacing and memorably developed character interactions—distinguished by socioeconomic stresses and the loneliness that can come with being different—pair with organically incorporated details of Jewish and Russian traditions, language, and foods to satisfyingly set all the strands of Yasha’s life on a championship track."—Publishers Weekly
“Yasha’s Amazin’ Bar Mitzvah is a tender, humorous, and heartfelt story about navigating the ups and downs of middle school friendship and learning how to be yourself. Readers will want to stay with Yasha long after the last page. A must-read for baseball fans and non-athletes alike.”—Anne Blankman, National Jewish Book Award winner
“Heartfelt and true to the challenges of being the new kid in town, Yasha’s Amazin’ Bar Mitzvah serves as a reminder that you don’t have to abandon your old roots to grow new ones. Readers will root as hard for Yasha as he roots for the Mets.”—Joshua S. Levy, National Jewish Book Award–winning author of Finn and Ezra’s Bar Mitzvah Time Loop
