PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Interweaving history and adventure, Levine (Running on Eggs) takes young readers on a Passover trip worth pursuing. When Jodie's cousin Zach visits for Passover, she and her siblings want to take him on a variety of trips to help him see all aspects of Israel. Jodie, in particular, is eager to lead him on an archeological dig through Hezekiah's Tunnel. With her new flashlight, a Passover gift, and some Passover food prepared, the two of them venture out to the dark, wet, and narrow underground passageway. Intrigued by Jodie's father's brainteaser to find "the riddle in the middle," the daring duo must confront their fears and the creepy tunnel to see their way to the end. Topaz's illustrations nicely portray the diversity of populations in the Holy Land, and Levine's plot takes kids to a place where the past and the present converge in exciting new ways. Ages 5 9.
