Synopsis
A Jewish boy&’s bravery and kindness are tested after an antisemitic attack on his middle school in this rousing novel-in-verse.Ever since twelve-year-old Josh Kline found an antisemitic note in his family&’s mailbox in third grade, he has felt uncomfortable about his Jewish identity. At a new school where he&’s pretty sure he&’s the only Jew, he&’s hoping to just keep religion out of everything . . . until the morning someone sprays swastikas all over the building. That&’s when everything changes.In one of the school counseling groups set up in response to the attack, Josh finally reveals that he is Jewish, and quickly finds out there&’s more to the other kids in his grade too: All of them have their own struggles. Maybe Josh can do something to help—to &“repair the world&” as his rabbi teaches, by starting a Do More club to spread kindness. But making a difference is never simple, even when you have new friends by your side.Fast-paced and conversation-starting, Josh&’s story is an empowering examination of prejudice, bullying, and how to take the first step toward change.
