A magical Bat Mitzvah gift gets out of control and thrusts a girl into
a supernatural quest with the fate of the world at stake in this
"refreshing, fast-paced" (School Library Journal) middle grade
adventure that's perfect for fans of Aru Shah.
Naomi Teitelbaum is so ready for her Bat Mitzvah. Her prayers are
memorized, and she's definitely got a handle on her Torah portion (well,
almost). Then she gets a mysterious gift: a tiny clay Golem. To Naomi's
shock, it comes to life--and obeys her every command.
At first, this small magical helper seems like the best Bat Mitzvah gift
ever. But with each command, the Golem grows...and gets harder to hide.
And creepy, unnatural creatures like dybbuks, demons, and a congregation
of ghosts have started following Naomi around. To keep herself out of
trouble and the Golem out of harm's way, Naomi gives the Golem
well-intended instructions: save the world.
Unfortunately, this leaves more room for interpretation than Naomi
thought. Before long, the Golem is wreaking havoc all over Los Angeles,
and only Naomi and her friends can stop it.
