Aviva vs. the Dybbuk

Description: "A long ago accident. An isolated girl named Aviva. A community that wants to help, but doesn't know how. And a ghostly dybbuk, that no one but Aviva can see, causing mayhem and mischief that everyone blames on her. That is the setting for this suspenseful novel of a girl who seems to have lost everything, including her best friend Kayla, and a mother who was once vibrant and popular, but who now can't always get out of bed in the morning. As tensions escalate in the Jewish community of Beacon with incidents of vandalism and a swastika carved into new concrete poured near the synagogue, so does the tension grow between Aviva and Kayla and the girls at their school, and so do the actions of the dybbuk grow worse"--

Review Quotes: "Hard-to-put-down...Coping with loss, grief, family issues, and the true meaning of friendship, readers will be anxious to understand what's behind Aviva and her mother's actions."-- The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle
