An involving, absorbing anthology

Lost And Found And Other Stories by Rachel Yaffe is an entertaining and enlightening anthology of short stories written specifically for preteen readers and drawing from Jewish history and experience. Each tale is centered upon character of a young woman struggling to hold on to Jewish identity in a turbulent and often terrible world. From a young woman caught in the terror of the Nazi oppression and extermination during World War II, to young women learning the Talmud, to dilemmas concerning raising enough money to ransom a king, to the wistful ties of childhood friendship, to contemporary highschool girls torn between the siren call of peer group popularity and the demands of their personal conscience, Lost And Found And Other Stories is an involving, absorbing anthology and very highly recommended reading.
