Finn and Ezras bar mitzvah weekend takes on a Groundhog Day twist in this hilarious and magical middle grade novel from Joshua S. Levy. Winner of a National Jewish Book Award and a Sydney Taylor Honor Book!
Finn and Ezra dont have a lot in commonexcept, of course, that theyre trapped in a bar mitzvah time loop, reliving their celebrations in the same New Jersey hotel over and over and over again. Not ideal, particularly when both kids were ready for their bar mitzvahs to end the moment they began. Ezra comes from a big familyfour siblings, all seeming to get more attention than him, even on his bar mitzvah weekend. Finn is an only child whos tired of his parents constant focus, even worse on his bar mitzvah weekend. They just want to get past it, just want to grow up. And now theyre both stuck. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. No way out.
Until Finn and Ezra meet and realize theyre not alone.
Teaming up, they try everything they can think of to break the loop. But nothing works, and after every reset, the boys schemes become more desperate. As their frustrations build, the questions mount and real-life problems start to seep through the cracks. With all the time in the world, can Finn and Ezra ever figure out how to move forward?
