Penina (Penina Levine Is a Hard-Boiled Egg) returns in this second entertaining adventure, which takes place during Hanukkah. Penina must overcome her beloved teacher's departure, her best friend's vacation to Aruba, and her sister Mimsy's perpetual "Cuteness Routine" before finally being able to enjoy the festivities. Copious black-and-white illustrations round out the funny story.
