Elana Rubinstein

Gr 3–6—Saralee, a 10-year-old with a "super-nose," uses her gift to save her family from biblical villain Haman,
whom she has accidentally conjured up from the ancient past. The theme of Purim will enhance multicultural
literature collections of early reader chapter books.

"A sweet story celebrating Jewish culture and sprinkled with a little bit of magic." ---School Library Journal

In this second book about Saralee Siegel, the girl with the superpower smell, Saralee decides to create a new recipe for Sukkot--out of starlight, the secret ingredient that magically makes the soup taste just like each person's favorite soup in the world. But there's a problem with the magic soup that only the magic of friendship can fix.

A clever story about two rival families and a Rosh Hashanah cake recipe. Saralee Siegel has a super nose she can smell things like no one's business. Her Zadie says that with a nose like that, she'll rule the world. This fast-paced, magical story about a girl who loves to cook, a rival restaurant, and a secret Rosh Hashanah cake recipe, is told in an illustrated chapter book format.
