Fantasy / Junior Fiction - Coraline has moved into a boring town and lives a normal life, that is until she finds a door, which leads her to a house similar to her own. But things are more interesting there. Her parents in this world want to change her and never let her go. Will Coraline be able to escape this new world? I like this book because it lets children use their imagination. It teaches children skills such as to be thankful for what they have and to not to be tempted by strangers’ influences. It teaches children to use their intuition when it comes to situations.

Anne of Green Gables Series, Book 1 Series: Anne of Green Gables Classics / Junior Fiction - Two middle aged siblings decide to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help with their family farm. But once at the train station, they don’t get a boy, they get a girl. I like this book because it teaches children about history and what life was like in Anne’s time. It teaches children about growing up and shows children how people change as they grow up from child to young adult.

History / Non-fiction - Israel: A History by Martin Gilbert provides, unsurprisingly, a detailed history of, well, Israel. Not the most elegantly written book but that’s probably because it’s hard to be stylish when each sentence is packed with so much information. This is a well-researched tome that, despite its length or perhaps because of it, is worth multiple readings.

Memoir / Non-Fiction - When Abby Stein was just three years old, she realized that the world saw her as a boy. Growing up in the Hasidic world where gender-roles are even more set in stone than in the secular world, this presented a challenge to say the least. The coming of age story of this young woman and "kosher rebel" is heartbreaking, beautiful and still manages to find a sense of humour.

Cookbook / Non-fiction - For each Jewish holiday, Nathan presents menus from different cuisines--Moroccan, Russian, German, and contemporary American are just a few--that show how the traditions of Jewish food have taken on new forms around the world. Explaining their origins and the holidays that have shaped them, Nathan spices these delicious recipes with delightful stories about the people who have kept these traditions alive. This is a perfect place to find both traditional and new dishes to try for Shavuot or everyday.
