Product Description

A magical Bat Mitzvah gift gets out of control and thrusts a girl into a supernatural quest with the fate of the world at stake in this spooky middle grade adventure thats perfect for fans of Aru Shah.

Naomi Teitelbaum is so ready for her Bat Mitzvah. Her prayers are memorized and shes definitely got a handle on her Torah portion (well, almost). Then she gets a mysterious gift: a tiny clay Golem. To Naomis shock, it comes to lifeand obeys her every command.

At first, this small magical helper seems like the best Bat Mitzvah gift ever. But with each command, the Golem grows...and gets harder to hide. And creepy, unnatural creatures like dybbuks, demons, and a congregation of ghosts have started following Naomi around. To keep herself out of trouble and the Golem out of harms way, Naomi gives the Golem well-intended instructions: save the world.

Unfortunately, this leaves more room for interpretation than Naomi thought. Before long, the Golem is wreaking havoc all over Los Angeles, and only Naomi and her friends can stop it.

Review

"Theres welcome ubiquity in the Judaism of the quest . . . multiple flavors of Ashkenazi American Judaism as well as demons and dybbuks from Jewish folklore. . . A comforting, satisfying allegory of justice and self-care centering Jewish themes." Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Samara Shanker has been making up stories about magic and monsters since she was a kid sneaking in extra reading past her bedtime. By graduate school, she had moved on to writing stories that reimagined the folklore and mythology she had always loved as a kid (mostly still written after bedtime, once she finished all her sensible homework). She now works as a tutor and childrens literacy specialist and gets to do most of her writing during the day, which has done wonders for her sleep schedule. She lives in Virginia with her rescue puppy, Jack Kirby, and devotes most of her time not spent working or writing to spoiling her niece and nephew. Naomi Teitelbaum Ends the World is her debut novel.

Chapter 1: A Mysterious Package

1 A MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE
The box was addressed to Ms. Naomi Teitelbaum, which made Naomi feel very grown-up. It came in the same batch of mail as a check for thirty-six dollars from Naomis aunt Rachel, who was in Prague for the winter on a research trip, and a card from Naomis great-uncle Irving, who was too old to fly from Florida to California by himself. Naomis Bat Mitzvah was three weeks away, and the mail was practically all Bat Mitzvah related: gifts, late RSVPs, decorations for the party. It wasnt that strange, then, that the box came addressed to Naomi. It was a little strange that there was no return address indicating who the box was from, but that happened from time to time when her older relatives sent things. Naomi stared at the dark, reddish-brown wrapping paper while her mom sorted through the rest of the boring mail.

Can I open it now? she asked.

Hmm? Her mom looked up and raised an eyebrow. Not right now. Whatever it is will keep until after your lesson with the rabbi. She checked her watch and frowned. Speaking of which, why arent you ready to go?

Im ready! Naomi lifted her foot up over the counter so her mom could see that she was wearing shoes. Im so ready. Im so super-duper ready, I could open this package right now and not even be late!

Where are your headphones?

Naomi squinted. I dont need headphones to meet with Rabbi Levinson.

Mom squinted right back. You need your headphones if youre going to practice your Torah portion in the car.

Naomi groaned. This is an injustice.

Dont try that with me, Naomi Sarah. Ive been dealing in fancy words longer than youve been alive.

Yeah, but you work for The Establishment.

Mom didnt dignify that with a response. She sent a meaningful look at Naomis Bat Mitzvah binder. Ugh, Mom. Naomi threw herself sideways ove
