The town bully, Karl Leckner, threatens to nail her mouth shut. Her best friend says she has more sass than sense. Even her beloved zayde wishes she would hold her tongue and rise above. But thirteen-year-old Gittel Borenstein's feet are planted stubbornly on the earth and her tongue is as sharp as Zayde's chalef, the razor he uses for butchering chickens. She's fed up with being called Geetle Beetle, or Jew girl, or worse. The Borensteins and twelve other Jewish families have left behind the deadly pogroms of Eastern Europe only to find life nearly as harsh in 1911 Mill Creek, Wisconsin. The winters are fierce, the farming is unfamiliar, and not everyone in Mill Creek accepts the Jewish settlers. A star student, Gittel takes refuge in school, where she longs to blend in with her gentile friends and dreams of becoming a famous writer-- a far-fetched dream when eighth grade represents the last year of formal schooling available in Mill Creek and Karl Leckner is determined a Jewish girl will never blend in.

About the Author
Laurie Schneider grew up in central Wisconsin, not far from where GITTEL is set. A self-avowed kidlit nerd, heron spotter, and library lover, she lives in Norman, Oklahoma, with her partner and two very good cats. When not working at the library (or scoping out the latest coffee shop), she can be found stalking turtles and herons at the neighborhood pond, camera in hand.
