About this item
David Da-Wei Horowitz has a lot on his plate. Preparing for his upcoming bar mitzvah would be enough work even if it didn't involve trying to please his Jewish and Chinese grandmothers, who argue about everything. But David just wants everyone to be happy.That includes his friend Scott, who is determined to win their upcoming trivia tournament but doesn't like their teammate -- and David's best friend -- Hector. Scott and David begin digging a fallout shelter just in case this Cold War stuff with the Soviets turns south... but David's not so convinced he wants to spend forever in an underground bunker with Scott. Maybe it would be better if Hector and Kelli Ann came with them. But that would mean David has to figure out how to stand up for Hector and talk to Kelli Ann. Some days, surviving nuclear war feels like the least of David's problems.
About the Author
I grew up in Southwest Virginia on a great dead-end street with woods, a creek, and copious amounts of mud. After college, I moved back to Virginia, where I spent more than a decade at a daily newspaper writing stories about colorful, real-life characters. These days, I'm making up characters of my own. I have books for kids of all ages. You can learn more at www.madelynrosenberg.com
