"'My name is Becca Goldstein, and this is the story of how I became famous,' reads the opening line of this chapter book. Children will be instantly drawn into the story of two girls. Becca is an American Jew visiting Israel with her family, reluctantly participating in an archaeological dig at Tel Maresha. Rebeka is a Jewish girl living in the same spot 2,200 years previously. The book alternates chapters from each girl's point of view as the reader sees how the location has changed and remained the same. Item, such as pottery shards, that Becca's family finds are being used by Rebeka's family. And, the origins of a special artifact that Becca finds are explained in Rebeka's chapters. Both girls are concerned about their families needing to move and have similar resolutions to their problems. At the end of the book, Becca realizes, 'It wasn't only modern girls whose parents need to move someplace new,' while Rebeka thinks, 'Perhaps her parents were right. Wonders awaited them.' The full-color cover illustration will attract young readers, and the black and white drawings in each chapter will add to the enjoyment and make it easier to understand how an underground cave could be used for storage. The book concludes with an author's note that goes into more detail about the historical events depicted and the actual Tel Maresha dig. The book will appeal especially to independent readers in third through fourth grade and to younger children as a read-aloud. This title is a recommended purchase for homes, libraries, and schools." -- Association of Jewish Libraries, "'My name is Becca Goldstein, and this is the story of how I became famous,' reads the opening line of this chapter book.

Association of Jewish Libraries "Reluctant to visit what she thinks will be a boring archaeological site during her family trip to Israel, Becca only wishes to be back home having a fun summer with her best friend. Nevertheless, here she is at Beit Guvrin, a site where she visits an ancient cave and finds an artifact, a precious gold earring that even she has to admit is fascinating. Her find has the unexpected benefit of bringing her to the attention of a community of archaeologists, who laud her for her significant discovery. Alternating chapters follow a Jewish family who lived in the area close to two thousand years ago, when the powerful Greeks were a force in the Land of Israel. Rebeka and her family were planning on moving to Athens so that her father could take advantage of trading opportunities and so that the children of the family could receive a superior education. In their hurry to pack their belongings and be ready to leave with the caravan, they lost a pair of finely wrought gold earrings. The earring Becca finds connects her with Rebeka of long ago and teaches her more about the history of her people in their joint homeland. Modern Becca from the United States and ancient Rebeka from Israel share more than just their name; they share a history, a people, and a land. Illustrations show differences between then and now, linking the past and the present in an engaging way. Through both text and image, children will learn that some troubles--but also some joys--are universal and unchanging; children have been grappling with some of the same issues for untold generations. An author's note goes into further detail about Tel Maresha at the Beit Guvrin National Park in Israel and the Dig for a Day program run by the site. The author reminds us that the keys to Jewish history--in this case, the Maccabee rebellion, which led to the holiday of Hanukkah--are found in archaeological excavations and explorations. She also tells us that the story is based on a true incident: a gold earring was unearthed by a ten-year-old girl at Tel Maresha and is currently part of the collection at the Israel Museum."-- Jewish Book Council

Synopsis
Readers aged 8-10 will be swept up by the parallel stories of two girls with surprisingly similar problems even though they are separated by 2,000 years. When Becca Goldstein's parents drag her to an archeological site in Israel as part of a family vacation, she did not expect to to become famous in the archeology community. Nor did she expect to discover a connection to another girl her age who had lived on the same site 2,000 years earlier. Told in alternating chapters, this is the story of two similar girls in two very different ages and their remarkably similar struggles to reckon with the changes in their lives. Becca didn't want to go on this stupid family vacation to Israel. The flight was too long, the weather was too hot, and Becca missed her friends back home. Being dragged to an archeological site in Tel Maresha was not the way Becca wanted to spend her time. Well, until they journeyed to the underground caves, carved by the ancient residents of Tel Maresha to avoid the heat. Rebeka's father was returning from selling their wool in the markets of Jerusalem, and he brought with him a mysterious Greek guest. The man, Jason, told the tale of how Rebeka's father saved him from a mob. With tensions rising and violence brewing around Tel Maresha, Jason urges the family to move. Rebeka doesn't want to go; Athens is far, and she'll miss her friend and the home she's always lived in. But in the family's hurry to depart, what Rebeka leaves behind might be more than just her home, and might stay there for a long time., "This title is a recommended purchase for homes, libraries, and schools." -- Association of Jewish Libraries Readers aged 8-10 will be swept up by the parallel stories of two girls with surprisingly similar problems even though they are separated by 2,000 years.
