Book Overview

by David Grossman (Author), Betsy Rosenberg (Translator)

David Grossman's classic novels See Under: Love and The Book of Intimate Grammar, earned him international acclaim as an author of childhood. The Zig Zag Kid, written in a more optimistic vein, recounts thirteen-year-old Nonny Feuerberg's picturesque journey into adulthood.

As Nonny's Bar Mitzvah year trip turns into an amazing adventure, he not only finds himself befriending a notorious criminal, and a great actress, but confronts the great mystery of his own identity.

With wit and humor, The Zig Zag Kid is a novel that explores the most fundamental questions of good and evil and speaks directly to both adults and teenagers.
