Upside-Down Summer By Libby Herz Ages 7 - 10

The Great Depression represents a fascinating and challenging historical period. To make history relatable to emergent readers, this book follows the changes that come into our young heroine's life when everyone is struggling.

Sara is only ten, but she already knows that the Depression, with a capital D, means jobs and money are scarce. Since no one can afford new furniture, Papa has no customers at his shop, and Sara sees that Mama and Papa are worried. She needs her best friend, Etty, more than ever, but life is changing for the girls, too.

Sara knows that Hashem is in charge, but how will things every be good again?
