About this ebook

Introducing a charming chapter book series starring Rachel Friedman, a sweet and silly Jewish girl renowned for her peanut butter challah baking skills and larger-than-life personality!

Rachel loves being Jewish, but she hates following the rules at synagogue—and everywhere else. To encourage her to see the value of rules, Rachel and her father strike a deal: If Rachel can stick to the rules for one whole week, she can go to a meet and greet for her favorite gymnast!

But when Rachel finds herself in a tricky situation that forces her to choose between following the rules or doing what she believes is right, she learns that some rules are worth breaking. And yet, when the consequences of her rule breaking spin out of control, she learns that some rules are still worth following.

Sarah Kapit creates a refreshing chapter book heroine in Rachel Friedman, featuring her identity, ADHD, and personality with care. The book also features Genevieve Kote's adorable illustrations throughout.

This adorable new chapter book series features a modern update on the old Junie B. Jones character but with Jewish representation. Rachel is smart, spunky and irrepressible. This adorable new chapter book series features a modern update on the old Junie B. Jones character but with Jewish representation. Rachel is smart, spunky and irrepressible. It is unusual for a chapter book to address the issue that sometimes it makes sense to question the rules.
