One, or occasionally two,
chapters are linked to Jewish book titles, with an extra page from the chapter
following often included as well. (All this, in accordance with each
publisher's approval)
While book
beginnings are always used for novels,
the story sample is not always the first in the story collection.
Sample chapters and stories presented, mostly, in text format
to shorten time waiting for stories and samples to come up.
The Jewish book categories overlap a great
deal. For example, the book, Far From a Place Called Home, is middle grade
in readability, yet its serious content made us place it among Jewish books for
young people in older grades. It is also for this reason, that some books were
placed in two categories.
We hope to add books
regularly.
We welcome
book reviews of featured books.
Negative comments about books are welcome but should be phrased in a
respectful manner.
