Fish Out of Water

A boy planning his bar mitzvah project is frustrated that he’s not allowed to pursue his interests. This book examines gender stereotyping in a safe and humorous way. Fish Out of Water explores the issue of "toxic masculinity," which is very much in the news right now as traditional gender roles and assumptions are being challenged.  The author has written numerous books for middle-grade audiences and balances funny and sweet well. The author is Jewish and includes Jewish content in all her stories.  New, enhanced features (dyslexia-friendly font, cream paper, larger trim size) to increase reading accessibility for dyslexic and other striving readers.
