Dear Hasafranim,
I've been struggling to find books of Jewish content (more than simply a
character with a Jewish name) for the age 9-13 set, specifically fantasy and
sci fi. My own 11 yr old daughter loves the stuff, devouring 300-400 page books
in days. I know of a few books, like The Inquisitor's Apprentice by Chris
Moriarty, the Cure by Sonia Levitin, The Remarkable Invention That Saves Zion
by Yehudit Stupniker. I've bought all that I can find that are age
appropriate,(I've found a few for older teens, but that is not currently my
focus).
Any recommendations for this age group that would satisfy the "Harry Potter"
mind-set, but Jewish?
Also, another question: Has anyone read any of the Promise of Zion series by
Robert Elmer? On their face, the books seem like a good fit for middle readers,
but Elmer, I understand, is a Christian writer, so I'm wary. Anything
objectionable?
