This book is funny, vivid and is pretty realistic ( except for the dragon of course ). it vividly describes the scrappy life of a Jewish immigrant family in the Lower East Side in New York in the late 1800's. i really enjoyed how Ms. Finkelstien went 'AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!' when she saw the dragon! definitely get this book!

I liked the book up until the end but the book is worth reading but just know that the end is sort of confusing.

In the book at the beginning, they were cooking matzo balls. This taught about Judiasim.

I liked this book but there could be some parts that's boring. This is why I gave it only 3 stars.
