Summary
In this book by Esty Schachter and illustrated by Alex Orbe, eleven-year-old Molly just wants to spend the summer of 1986 with her friends at camp. Instead, she reluctantly heads to Israel to visit family she barely knows!
With a less-than-basic knowledge of Hebrew that she picked up in Hebrew school, Molly wonders how she will be able to communicate and have fun in a country that is new and foreign to her. Luckily, surprises are in store.
