Description: CHILDHOOD ISN T EASY... 
...especially for Emily Horowitz. As the only Jewish child in her neighborhood, Emily s spirit bears a peculiar burden. On the first night of Chanukah, she marches grimly home, a note pinned to her pocket about her refusal to sing Christmas carols in music class. But Emily s baby brother has just been diagnosed as autistic, confirming her mother s worst fear. Emily is about to become a forgotten child, lost inside a stormy world of grown-up problems and childhood fantasies. 

And winter has barely begun...
