Sara's gift of a golden dreydl turns into the gift of a magical, mystical adventure in a far off world full of danger and excitement.

The Golden Dreydl
By Ellen Kushner
Illustrated by Ilene Winn-Lederer

Combining fantasy with Jewish history and folklore, this enchanting story takes young readers on an exciting adventure.

Sara is unimpressed with her family's Chanukah celebrations in the face of all the Christmas decorations that her friends have. And, she is bored at her family's Chanukah party until she receives a mysterious gift, a golden dreydl that is really an enchanted princess in disguise.

In a world filled with magic, demons, and characters from Jewish legend, Sara must use her wits to save her new friend from peril and return her to her parents King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
