Wrath Becomes Her (2023)
Aden Polydoros
"Aden Polydoros' Wrath Becomes Her is intoxicating and visionary, a rare book that peels apart the idea of what personhood is, what our obligations are to those who made us who we are, and our obligations to the living and to the dead. Vera's story is riveting and compelling, and I could not put it down. I was blown away. No one's writing Jewish historical fantasy like Aden is. This is a tour de force."

The Life and Crimes of Hoodie Rosen (2022)
Isaac Blum
"Isaac Blum has the rare talent of telling searing, visceral truths in a witty, funny, punchy way, that almost makes you forget that he's opened the window to share something personal, real, heartbreaking and hopeful. The Life and Crimes of Hoodie Rosen is a vital voice in Jewish YA canon."

From Dust, a Flame (2022)
Rebecca Podos
"A complicated, dark, richly woven story of generational trauma, stories, mothers and daughters, Jewish folklore, and the promises we make - and the promises we break - to protect the people we love. I was riveted from the first page to the last."
