Publisher Description
The rules of dreidel are simple—unless the hot new rabbi your friends have been wanting you to meet turns out to be your childhood crush. Now Zach Kravitz is playing for more than bragging rights as the dreidel champion—he’s playing for his heart.
Hanukkah parties with the Kravitz family were some of Garrett Fitzpatrick’s favorite childhood memories. Now that Garrett has a chance to reconnect with Zach, the quiet, artistic young man he has yearned after for years, he’s ready to put a new spin on an old game. Garrett has eight nights to show Zach the spark between them can turn into a lasting flame that will stay bright long after Hanukkah ends.

An enlightening read…
Zach and Garrett’s story is the telling of young memories and crushes that most of us share to some degree. The inclusion of Chanukah and the Dreidel is unique to the childhood sharing of tradition and religious beliefs that made this a very special book. Religion has a tendency to divide people, often with harmful effects. This book is built on an ecumenical base where Christian parents chose to broaden the experience of their children regarding another religious tradition. I also like the reacquaintance of two young men who had been separated when one family moved away from the other. The conversion of Garrett was also handled very well. I looked up many Jewish names as I read. I enjoyed the character interaction and renewed relationship, as well as the inclusion of Chanukah traditions. Good read for the season.
