The Truth About My Bat Mitzvah Audiobook

" Loved this book very heart warming and loved the characters. "

" Dubbed as the next, "Are you there God?" It's not. The book is super slim and I didn't get through it. I just wasn't into the story at all. I suppose for tweens who can identify with religious exploration or questions about their heritage it might be good, but I just couldn't get hooked. "

" I liked this book a lot, but it is rather girly, and I am not sure it will have a huge audience. I think ANything but Typical is a stronger work despite an ick cover! "

" Baskin did a lot better with *What Every Girl (except me) Knows.* This book addresses a good topic though--a girl questioning her religious beliefs, with a Christian and Jewish background. "

" This book reminded me a lot of "Are You There God? It's me Margaret". The story begins as Caroline loses her grandmother and inherits her Star of David necklace. Meanwhile her best friend is planning a Bat Mitzvah party. Caroline deals with the loss of her grandmother and her own nagging questions about the religion her parents never practice. Trying not to hurt the feelings of her Christian father and Jewish mother both of whom have an ambiguous relationship with organized religion Caroline navigates the big questions. "

" I read a lot of books about bat mitzvahs, don't I? "

" This book is NOT, I repeat NOT, for boys! If you want to get into a girl's mind boys, then go ahead and read it. "

" It was a great book about the close relationship between two best friends. It also it taught you the meaning of a TRUE bat mitzvah. "

" A great story about coming to grips with your religious heritage. "

" Judy Blume did this a lot better in Are you there, God? It's Me, Margaret. As a product of an inter-faith marriage, this subject generally resonates with me, but this book was just skated along the surface with no real crisis or self-examination. "

" Identity and religion. Well done. Will have an audience. "

" A pre-teen struggles with her identity--not a new theme, but in this case a Star of David necklace given to her by her deceased grandmother is the central symbol of a Jewish identity she knows little about, but to which she is drawn. "

" Makes you dig deep in your heat and find who you are. It made me CRY! "

" Good book, went by too fast though "

" Interesting story about a girl grieving for her grandmother and starting to discover her Jewish roots. Not a lot about the actual Bat Mitzvah celebration/ceremony though. "

" this book was not what i expected. i connected to it on a much deeper level in that i think back often on the loss of my grandmother as well. "

" Great story about growing up and something not all of us experience. Great voice on the story "

" Fast-paced MG. Quick, enjoyable read. Realistic pre-teen angst. "

" This book really symbolizes finding yourself and I really think it is a touching and wonderful story. I would recommened it. "

" More a story of a young girl coming to terms with loss and trying to decide who she is. Moved me to tears on several occasions. Not what I was expecting. I really miss my grandmas. "
