And Twelve Chinese Acrobats
by Jane YolenFor Wolf, there is no one in the family-or in the whole village-quite like his own oldest brother, Lou. It is Lou who filches ribbons at the fair for the serving girls, and Lou who steals raspberry pies from Mama's kitchen to share with the peasants. But when Lou lets the lambs loose in the village, and they get into the mayor's garden and eat everything up, Papa has had enough. He sends Lou away to military school. Before long, Lou's letters back home stop, and the family finds out Lou has run away. Wolf worries and waits, and is richly rewarded when his brother finally comes home-along with a tumbling, flipping, rollicking surprise. This retelling of the author's father's large family's life in the Ukraine before Lou was the first of them to establish himself in the United States where he became a reporter, married and had children reads like a folk tale though it is based on fact. It is about the difficulties to fit in and survive of a lovable boy who can't conform, but ultimately demonstrates his ability and strength of character. Family life of a Jewish family living in Ukraine in 1910 is showcased. It's a wonderful tale to be read or read aloud by older children to adults.
