Summary

"Joyful and entertaining, with a glimpse into a different aspect of Judaism" --Kirkus Reviews

This modern update of a Jewish folktale includes a working single mom and two kids who want to let her rest while they get ready for Shabbat. But first they have to dispatch a pesky goblin on their own, which takes ingenuity, cooperation, and courage. End note explains Jewish origin of goblins.

Sometimes, a peaceful Shabbat means braiding challah and dinner with your family. Sometimes it means trying to catch a goblin before sundown. And sometimes, it means both! --Madelyn, from Goodreads
