Bookroo's summary
In 1986, eleven-year-old Molly's summer plans take a detour to Israel, where she faces the challenge of connecting with family she barely knows. Armed with only basic Hebrew, Molly wonders how she'll navigate this foreign land. As she grapples with the language barrier, unexpected adventures and surprises await, transforming her summer into an unforgettable journey. Will Molly find a way to bridge the gap and discover the hidden treasures of her heritage?
From the publisher
It’s the summer of 1986, and eleven-year-old Molly just wants to spend the summer 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.
