Book Review

We like to spread the word about good Mitzvah-related topics, including good reads for Kids and Moms. To help us recommend You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, we looped in 6th grader and Mitzvah Kid Mikaela Adwar of Jericho, NY. Thank you, Mikaela, for your help! Here’s Mikaela’s review:

You are SO not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah By Fiona Rosenbloom is a great tween book that offers a great storyline and hilarious scenarios. Stacy Friedman is starting to prepare for one of the most important events of her life, her Bat Mitzvah. She has always dreamed of the perfect one which would include the perfect dress, friends that are popular and even the perfect guy, Andy Goldfarb.

Then things start to turn upside down.

Stacy’s torah potion is not going so great (she can’t sing for her life), her crazed mom makes her get the ugliest dress EVER times ten, and Andy gets interested in some other girls. Her Mitzvah projects haven’t been going so great either. Since her parents separated, her dad has found a “Malibu Barbie-type” girlfriend who he’s taking to Stacy’s Bat Mitzvah. Then something so unpredictable happens that causes Stacy to say those fateful words. “You are SO not invited to my Bat Mitzvah!”

I recommend this book to girls 10 and up. Any girls who loved The Clique, Camp Confidential or Lauren Myracle’s books would adore this series. I loved every page of this book, and I bet you will too! You should SO not miss this book! – Mikaela Adwar
