Product Description

New historical fiction from a Newbery Honorwinning author about how middle schooler Ariel Goldberg's life changes when her big sister elopes following the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision, and she's forced to grapple with both her family's prejudice and the antisemitism she experiences, as she defines her own beliefs.

Cover may vary.

Twelve-year-old Ariel Goldberg's life feels like the moment after the final guest leaves the party. Her family's Jewish bakery runs into financial trouble, and her older sister has eloped with a young man from India following the Supreme Court decision that strikes down laws banning interracial marriage. As change becomes Ariel's only constant, she's left to hone something that will be with her always--her own voice.

How to Be the Lazy One
Its harder than you think.
First, lie on your messy bed wearing your Wonder Woman pajamas that are too small because youve had them since you were nine. Then, watch your older sister, Leah, pin up her hair for dance class. She sits in her black leotard at the small white vanity, her back straight as a board, a magazine cutout of Paul Newman taped to the corner of her mirror. She uses at least fifteen bobby pins for her bun. Count in your head while she sticks the pins in.
One, two, three. Shes rushing because she has to be on the #4 bus by 9:00 a.m. for pointe class at Madame Duchons Dance Academy. She dances there every day except Sunday. Youre not even sure how she spends so much time at dance and still does well in school.
Leah seems to do well at everything.
Not you. Youre the lazy one. Youre just trying to keep up, but along with all the other things Leah does, she helps you keep up.
Four, five, six.
Ma wishes Leah didnt take dance on Saturdays because of Shabbos, but Leah says it makes no sense for her not to dance if Ma and Daddy work all day at Gerties, their bakery. Then Ma says Leahs right and that maybe they should
