Imagine a cozy kitchen in another time and place. A Jewish family is baking apple strudel together, and while they work, they tell each other stories of the past - cherished stories of their family history. There is the boy who danced with ghosts, the greatest baseball moment ever, and an almost -a -disaster day. Stories of braving war, of daring the difficulties of immigration, and of enjoying the simple pleasures of friendship and sport. Stories of joy and sadness, mistakes and triumphs, curage and love. This warm and intimate novel is an inspiring portrait of a truly memorable family. Ages 8-12.
