The adventures of five sisters growing up in a Jewish family in New York in the early twentieth century.

All-of-a-kind Family

This is a sweet mid-century book about a Jewish family in the lower East Side at the turn of the century. It's an episodic book, taking place over the course of a year or so. There are a couple of chapters devoted to celebrating Jewish holidays (Sabbath, Purim, Passover, Succos), as well as more general chapters devoted to the sorts of mishaps and adventures a large family of children can get into (losing a library book, a day at the beach, their father's birthday, etc). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading the rest of the series in the future.

I adored this book when I was young, and I still adore it as an adult. Furthermore, my kids loved it, including my 9 year old son, even though it's about a family of turn of the century Jewish little girls! He wants to continue with the series!
