A National Jewish Book Award for Children's Literature Finalist David and Max
Gary Provost and Gail Provost Stockwell Twelve-year-old David is too short to make the basketball team so he takes his basketball along on a family vacation hoping to improve his skills. But a startling mystery soon eclipses ball practice. A routine trip for ice cream with his grandfather, Max, introduces David to long hidden family secrets. Are his grandfather's eyes playing tricks on him or have they found a friend Max thought died long ago in the Holocaust? Slowly, as David and Max search for the elusive B.B., David learns about Max's terrible past. As he comes to terms with his grandfather's disturbing memories and declining health, David grows to understand more about the meaning of honesty - and about himself. Now this delightful classic about the remarkable relationship between a boy and his grandfather is available in a new edition, updated to appeal to the next generation of readers. Gail Provost Stockwell and her late husband, Gary Provost, are the authors of three award-winning novels for children including Good If It Goes, winner of the National Jewish Book Award. They created and have taught at nationwide writing seminars and founded the Writers Retreat Workshop.
