The Entertainer and the Dybbuk
Yeah, I know what your all thinking. What is a dybbuk, well thats actully a jewish spirit from the holocaust. It's about a guy named 'The Great Freddie' that works with puppets, one night he goes hom and gets possessed by a dybbuk. Freddie isn't that good at not moving his lips when the dummie is supposed to be talking so the dybbuk helps him for 2 things, if Freddie helps him get a bar-mitzvah (a jewish ceremony that makes someone jewish into an adult) and to help get revenge on the man who killed him. I would give this book a 8 and a half because it teaches you about the holocaust and it has some humor, but be prepared because this book is kind of sad. But still, it's a 8 and a half

Great lead! I got me reading your post right away. Is this book creepy, or just funny and sad?
