A departure in style for Gene Kemp with the story of Mitzpah, dominated by an emotional grandmother and a guilt-ridden father, invited to spend her first holiday with a new and unexpected friend. Mitzpah runs the gamut of emotional turmoil - first love, betrayal, deceit and inadequacy accumulate to drive her back home and into emotional collapse. All is well - bridges are built, friendships rebuilt in a more honest way, and this cleverly titled book will offer a good deal to boys and girls from Year 9 upwards.
