Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Jewish Voices

For the letter “J” I’m focusing on Jewish voices, specifically looking for some titles that don’t focus solely on the Holocaust. Yes, the Holocaust is an important part of history that shouldn’t be ignored, but the Jewish experience is more than the trauma endured during the Holocaust.

2. The Inquisitor’s Tale: Or, the Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog by Adam Gidwitz
