This was such a cute read! David Da-Wei Horowitz has a lot of things on his plate as an almost 13-year-old. He's preparing for his bar mitzvah, dealing with his two grandmothers, studying for a trivia competition, and digging a fallout shelter with his new friend Scott (who isn't very nice to David's oldest friend Hector). Set in the 80s when The Day After premiered, this story takes a look at when cultures, friends, and adolescence collide, all told with a sweet and humorous tone. I would definitely recommend for 5/6th-8th graders.
