Summary: Coming of age, New York style
Comment: Great book. Written from the point of view of a teacher in a multi-cultural classroom this story of young people in post world war 2 New York appeals to teens and adults alike. Well written, the reader gets to know the narrator during two parts of his life. Deals with many issues, both historical and contemporary, but the author does not get up on a soap box. Worth reading.

Summary: Poignant
Comment: As I read this book it was rare to find something so poignant and applicable to todays world. It was a read that I could share with my children and coworkers alike. I have recomended it to everyone I can as a book with depth. A story filled with lifes complexities yet told with mirth and enthusiam. One of the best young adult educational books I have ever come across. The main character speaks of a Holden Caufieldesque way of looking at the world in a different perspective.

Summary: Perfect for High School Students
Comment: This novel is the first full length work published by this author. It appears to be semi autobiographical and deals with self discovery, maturation, and growing up in 50's- 60's New York City.

It moves briskly, has nicely developed quirky characters, and would be of interest to both young adults and mid lifers as well.
The plot brings in various ethnic and religious groups who learn about each other and appreciate both their differences and similarities, not without some struggles.
Although it is not a "Holocaust" book, the subject is critical to the story, as the title character's father is a survivor.
As such, it might appeal to High School educators looking for a novel to which their students could relate as well as being able to fulfill thematic needs.
In summary, worth checking out !
