A Face at the Window

by Meir Uri Gottesman, Gregg Hinlicky (Illustrator)

What was it about Tamara Kranz that made Miriam Levi feel as though they were secret sisters? Was it because Tamara Kranz was so shy and needed a friend so much? Or could it be the fear they shared of Tamara's mysterious and vengeful father? When Tamara's father finds out that she has become close to Rabbi Mordechai Levi’s magnetic Torah family, he vows revenge. Overcoming their fears, the girls discover the hidden cause of Mr. Kranz's strange behavior. And in the process, they learn that things are not always as they seem. In A Face at the Window, the pleasures and problems of childhood are blended with wit and sensitivity. The warmth of the special bond between Miriam and Tamara travels from the pages of the book to the heart of the reader. Meir Uri Gottesman has created a lively and realistic cast of characters that are sure to live in everyone's memory.
