I’m an author and crossword puzzle maker!
I wrote RECIPE FOR DISASTER because it was a book that I needed to read when I was a kid. It came out during the pandemic and so it never really got the sort of attention I wished it did, but whenever someone reads it and connects to it, it makes me remember how happy I am that it's in the world.
Rabbi Ruti Regan@rutiregan.bsky.social · 3mo agoJust finished reading it and WOW, that captures all kinds of things that I haven’t seen captured before.
Two middle grade books that fit some of the above categories: 1. “Recipe for Disaster” by @aimeelucido.bsky.social. A 12-year-old girl from an interfaith family suddenly decides she wants to have a bat mitzvah.
