I judged the book by the cover and bought it.<br><br>Two Sentence Summary: <br>This is the perfect &#8220;school story&#8221; for middle grade readers who are straddling that new line between being true to themselves and aching to fit in. Shaindy Goodman, a &#8220;good&#8221; Bais Yaakov student, is pulled by the attraction of popular Gayil, leading to a series of pranks that set off ripples of fear and chaos.<br><br>Final Thoughts: This book, by the author of <em>Aviva vs. the Dybbuk<\/em>, would fit in any upper elementary\/middle school collection. Readers needn&#8217;t be familiar with the Jewish references to identify the universal themes that this book so thoughtfully and authentically portrays. Of course, I loved the book precisely for the Jewish community setting, but Mari Lowe&#8217;s book can also sit on the shelf with <em>Because of Mr. Terupt<\/em>, <em>Wonder<\/em>, and any other school-based books that kids seems to love so much (think Gordon Korman and Andrew Clements).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Dubious Pranks of Shaindy Goodman Author: Mari Lowe Genre: Realistic Fiction Year of Publication: 2023 Why I Borrowed\/Bought It: I purchased The Dubious&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[78],"tags":[89,131,150,125,126,127,129,128,130],"class_list":["post-1574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-your-next-jewish-read","tag-contemporary","tag-friendships","tag-kidlit","tag-mari-lowe","tag-mglit","tag-middle-grade","tag-middle-school","tag-orthodox-community","tag-realistic-fiction"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CoverDubiousPranks.png","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1574"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1576,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1574\/revisions\/1576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yournextjewishread.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
