Bookroo's summary

Molly, a young Russian-Jewish immigrant, navigates the challenges of fitting in while honoring her traditions. Her first Passover in America clashes with a friend's birthday party, tempting her with forbidden cake. Will Molly choose her heritage or the allure of acceptance? As she grapples with this decision, the stakes of belonging and identity come to the forefront, leaving readers to wonder how she will reconcile her cultural roots with her new life.

From the publisher

Make a Wish, Molly, a sequel to the Oscar-winning Molly’s Pilgrim, is another story of Molly, a young Russian-Jewish immigrant, who is constantly being teased for her ethnic mannerisms. Molly’s troubles increase when her first Passover in her new country conflicts with a friend’s birthday party.
