Finn and Ezra’s Bar Mitzvah Time Loop

Written by Joshua S. Levy

13 year old Ezra is having his bar mitzvah when at a certain time of the party his weekend starts all over again and keeps repeating. He can’t seem to end this time loop…until he discovers someone else is having the same problem. Finn is also having his bar mitzvah in the same hotel and stuck in the same time loop. Ezra and Finn set off together to try to end the time loop and get life back to normal. The different things they try to end the time loop are hilarious and crazy. Each boy has different things they learn about themselves throughout the process. You’ll have to read the book to find out if they are ever able to figure out how to end the time loop. Full of twists and turns and loads of adventure, this is a very fun read.
