Once Upon an Apple Cake cover

A National Jewish Book Award Finalist

“Delightful.” –Kirkus Reviews

A clever story about two rival families and a Rosh Hashanah cake recipe. Saralee Siegel has a super nose; she can smell things like no one's business. Her Zadie says that with a nose like that, she'll rule the world. This fast-paced, magical story about a girl who loves to cook, a rival restaurant, and a secret Rosh Hashanah cake recipe, is told in an illustrated chapter book format.

The award-winning Saralee Siegel series provides fantastical fun for readers 8-10, set in a variety of Jewish holidays, including Hanukkah, Passover, Sukkot, Purim, and more, and features universally relatable themes for children of all backgrounds.

"Humorous cartoon illustrations are interspersed throughout. A bit of magic and a happy ending make for a sweet New Year story. Delightful."

—Kirkus Reviews
