Description
A humorous and heartwarming coming-of-age story about growing up Chinese Jewish American. David Da-Wei Horowitz navigates his dual heritage and friendships as he prepares for his bar mitzvah, all while trying to keep the peace between his arguing grandmothers. As tensions rise with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, David's focus shifts from family drama to a more pressing concern: surviving nuclear war. With the help of his best friend Hector and new teammate Kelli Ann, David starts digging a fallout shelter - but can he find a way to balance friendship and loyalty in the face of uncertainty? This story is a relatable and entertaining exploration of identity, community, and growing up.
