YA
When Mitch Green decides unexpectedly to extend his visit to Israel--to study at a yeshiva in Jerusalem and skip his first semester at UCLA--his parents worry that he is being "brainwashed" by ultra-orthodox fanatics. The novel succeeds as a realistic and poignant portrayal of a young man's search for God and self, conveying both the struggle and joy of the continuous journey.
