Synopsis

Finn and Ezra’s 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 don’t have a lot in common—except, of course, that they’re 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 family—four siblings, all seeming to get more attention than him, even on his bar mitzvah weekend. Finn is an only child who’s 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 they’re both stuck. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. No way out.Until Finn and Ezra meet and realize they’re 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?

A fun time loop novel, I love the whole way it escalates and also two kids having to relive their bar mitzvah… definitely some tear jerking revelations. Loved it!......more

Omg this book was so much fun! Give me a time loop/ groundhog day vibe, but make it Jewish and I am here for it! I loved the Jewish representation, and how both Finn and Ezra observed things differently. This had just enough sciency stuff for me to understand, given that it was middle grade, but as......more
