Staff Recommendation - The Entertainer and the Dybbuk

The Entertainer and the Dybbuk

by Sid Fleischman

This is a different kind of ghost story with a different kind of ghost - a dybbuk, a Jewish spirit. This dybbuk is the ghost of a 12 year old Holocaust victim who takes up residence in the body of Freddie, an unwilling American veteran who is living in post WWII Europe and supporting himself as a ventriloquist. The dybbuk helps Freddie improve his act in return for assistance in hunting down the former SS officer who killed him and his sister. - A chilling yet humorous tale. -- recommended by Mary L. - Walt Branch Library
