Magic that will captivate children of all backgrounds."-Ruth Behar, Pura Belpré Author Award winner and author of Tìa Fortuna's New Home: A Jewish Cuban Journey, a Sydney Taylor Notable Book The rabbi's son, Abi, has a habit of getting in trouble. It's not on purpose, and usually, they're harmless accidents. But this time, Abi has stolen a scroll from the synagogue-to practice his Hebrew!-and is not ready for what, or rather, who will show up at his front door as a result. The golems Abi summons may look monstrous, but we soon learn they are only there to help!
