Ever feel like there are just SO MANY AWESOME YA BOOKS out
there, it’s like Channukah’s come early this year?
Well, you’d be right.
Channukah has come early this
year. I’ll be lighting the first candle in just under a
week on November 27th, along with everyone who got a nod in Adam Sandler’s classic musical litany.
In fact, in honour of the Festival of Lights, I’ve written my
own version of the Adam Sandler Channukah song, featuring Jewish YA authors past and present. Cuz I’m just that cool:
Meg Rosoff spins the
dreidel
And Cassandra Clare –
what a fine shayna meidel*
Guess who’ll be
lighting a Channukah candler?
David Levithan and
Daniel Handler!**
