SYDNEY TAYLOR NOTABLE BOOK
In this sequel to
The Six-Day Hero
, by Tammar Stein, Beni is unhappy when his family moves from bustling Jerusalem to a remote moshav, a collective farm. There Beni makes a new friend, Sara, and new adversaries, Ori and Yoni. Beni’s older brother Motti, a soldier in the Israeli army, can back him up in a fight, but Beni knows that sometimes Motti must be away to fight for Israel.
Everything changes as the quiet of the holy day of Yom Kippur is shattered with hundreds of artillery shells falling on the moshav. Egypt and Syria have attacked, and war has come to Israel once again. Motti must return to his unit, and Beni’s nemesis, Yoni, moves in with Beni’s family when his baby brother is injured. As the war continues and worries mount about the fates of Motti as well as Sara’s brother Yuval, Beni learns the importance of friendship, and being brave enough to act when the time comes.

Sydney Taylor Notable Book 2020
"Readers will be motivated by Beni's perceptiveness and inspired by the strength he demonstrates through acceptance?even towards the enemy."?School Library Journal, Starred Review
"Readers coping with shattered contemporary realities will recognize themselves in a child’s fears and growing empathy." —
Kirkus Reviews
"What I enjoyed most in this book is the personified experience of a tween; how accurately the author described such everyday inner stories as magical thinking ('get better'), the angst of being bullied, the elevating feeling of forgiving someone, the excitement of learning something new…." —
Jewish Book World
"Stein’s story is not a coming-of-age story; it is a coming-together story." —
EDITOR'S CHOICE
Melissa Warren, Historical Novel Society
"Beni’s War depicts neither an idealized Israel nor a flawed country which needs to be apologized for. Instead, it faithfully paints life as lived in a country where war is never far away." —
Marjorie Gann, retired teacher; author of Five Thousand Years of Slavery, Toronto, Canada, AJL
