CONFESSIONS OF A CLOSET CATHOLIC by Sara Darer Littman
Now that the Christmas season is almost over the next big religious holiday has to be EASTER with its prerequisite Lent. Justine's best friend, Mary Catherine, has given up chocolate for Lent, but Justine feels God wants something more of her. She gives up being Jewish, uses her closet for confessiion, and drinks grape juice and eats matzo for Communion, but when her Grandmother suffers a stroke, Justine blames her personal conversion. Now she must decide who she is?
CONFESSIONS OF A CLOSET CATHOLIC by Sarah Darer Littman is a hilarious tale of a young girl trying to fit in. It won the 2006 Sydney Taylor Book Award for older readers. This award recognizes the best in Jewish children's literature. THIS BOOK IS RECOMMENDED FOR GIRLS IN GRADES 5 TO 8.
