Fancypants by Rob Freeman

Register by February 13th 

“Fancypants is part memoir, part novel. It’s one Jewish boy’s attempt at coming of age in a time period (1955-1966) when his whole generation is trying to do the same. Buddy Foreman’s story is one of hopefulness and humor, but also of despair and meanness.  Like all kids, Buddy wants answers to some basic questions: Why can’t I have more fun around here? Why don’t my parents listen to me when I talk? What do I count for? Why can’t I draw on the walls? And what’s the deal with being Jewish?”

RSVP with the Havurah office

There is one book left in the series….
