"Twelve-year old Leah Nevins is NOT a fan of change. So when her parents start whispering about sending her beloved great-grandpa Zaide to an assisted living facility (hospital jail!), she is very resistant. Zaide's house, where her family gathers on Saturday afternoons, is the only place where Leah feels like she truly belongs. Sending Zaide away would change everything. Luckily Leah remembers a story Zaide once told her. To protect their family from the Nazis in Poland, he built a golem-- a creature of Jewish mythology made out of clay. So Leah decides to make a golem of her own to babysit her ailing great-grandfather. The directions he gave her were easy to follow, but there is one thing he never mentioned: what to do when a goem turns against its creator."--Provided by publisher.
