Fig's life at school is perfectly normal: he's sure his science
teacher hates him, his dad is forcing him to attend barmitzvah
classes because his mum who have wanted it, and he's just been
passed over for the football team in favour of Gus Starks, a ball
hog and a bully. And, as if Fig's life needed one more
complication, his grandmother Gigi is unexpectedly coming to stay
with him and his dad for a while. As Gig helps Fig navigate the
obstacles of school and a tough football season, Fig comes to
understand some important things: about his religion, about his
family, and about Fig himself. Echo Still is a sports story about
refusing to give up on one's dreams regardless of the obstacles.
It's a school story, about an ordinary 12-year-old boy dealing with
the everyday challenges of growing up. But most compellingly, Echo
Still offers a moving depiction of the healing power of a
grandmother's love. Infused with Jewish values and affection for
Jewish rituals and holidays, this novel will certainly appeal to
Jewish communities everywhere, but the deep humanity of Echo Still
will resonate with readers of all backgrounds.
