Ellie Silver (YaYa) doesn't think she believes in superstition. Yet it seems like lately everywhere she goes and everything she touches brings bad luck. She thinks she may have even upset something called the Ayin Hara, also known as "The Evil Eye." Ellie has been counting down the minutes until she, her twin brother Joel (YoYo), and older brother Jeremy will be in their favorite aunt's wedding.

She needs to figure out how to get rid of the bad luck--and fast!

Thrill-loving fifth grader Ellie Silver (YaYa) has been waiting all summer to visit the brand new indoor water park in town.

Sure, Rosh Hashanah is a big deal, but so is Splash World! What will Ellie do?

Joel (YoYo) Silver loves to play practical jokes and make people laugh. Just when he decides to stop pranking people and focus instead on wowing a crowd with magic and juggling, his buddies start a "challenge" club, daring each other to contests and pranks. When the dares go beyond his comfort zone, Joel has to decide if he should take the risk or stand up to the pressure that his friends are putting on him. Meanwhile, it's almost Hanukkah. Joel and his twin sister Ellie (YaYa) are learning about the Maccabees, the ancient Jews who refused to give up their way of life despite enormous pressure from the Greeks. Joel discovers that peer pressure and making good (and not-so-good) decisions can be almost as tough as being a Maccabee!
