Finn and Ezra\u2019s bar mitzvah weekend takes on a Groundhog Day twist in this hilarious and magical middle grade novel from Joshua S. Levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finn and Ezra don\u2019t have a lot in common\u2014except, of course, that they\u2019re trapped in a bar mitzvah time loop, reliving their celebrations in the same New Jersey hotel over and over and over again. Not ideal, particularly when both kids were ready for their bar mitzvahs to end the moment they began. Ezra comes from a big family\u2014four siblings, all seeming to get more attention than him, even on his bar mitzvah weekend. Finn is an only child who\u2019s tired of his parents\u2019 constant focus, even worse on his bar mitzvah weekend. They just want to get past it, just want to grow up. And now they\u2019re both stuck. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. No way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until Finn and Ezra meet and realize they\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaming up, they try everything they can think of to break the loop. But nothing works, and after every reset, the boys\u2019 schemes become more desperate. As their frustrations build, the questions mount and real-life problems start to seep through the cracks. With all the time in the world, can Finn and Ezra ever figure out how to move forward?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
