"""By the middle of the first chapter it's clear that Finn and Ezra's Bar Mitzvah Time Loop is funny, gripping, and written by an expert storyteller. By the end of the last chapter it's clear that Finn and Ezra is mind-bending and brilliant. A book you'll never forget."" -- Adam Gidwitz, author of the Newbery Honoree The Inquisitor's Tale ""Levy puts a new spin on time loop tropes by infusing this energetic tale with Jewish sensibilities via Ezra's conservative family traditions and Finn's reformed upbringing, making for a delightfully offbeat read about becoming a man dozens of times over."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Exciting and heartfelt."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""The author inserts clues to what's actually going on so artfully that even alert readers are going to have aha moments. The tale is embedded within such a rich matrix of Jewish customs that the story is likely to have an informational aspect for audiences of any belief or culture."" -- Booklist Praise for The Jake Show: ""Astutely depicts the pain of a contentious divorce, the balm of friendship, and the complexity of Jewish culture."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""You'll root for Jake as he navigates friendships, parents, religion, and figuring out who he is--and who he wants to be. Heartfelt and hilarious, The Jake Show is a coming of age story you don't want to miss."" -- Sarah Mlynowski, New York Times bestselling author of the Whatever After series ""A heartfelt story about discovering yourself while being pulled in two directions, Levy's The Jake Show had me laughing through tears and cheering for Jake every inch of the way. Give this TV-loving kid his Emmy; he deserves it."" -- Nicole Melleby, award-winning author of Hurricane Season ""A relatable coming-of-age story filled with family strife, fraught friendships, and ridiculous decisions. Funny, heartwarming, and authentic, The Jake Show is a hit!"" -- Rajani LaRocca, Newbery Honor-winning author of Red, White, and Whole ""This comical, authentic, and firmly Jewish caper should play to rave reviews with both secular and spiritual audiences."" -- Booklist"
