In A Ceiling Made of Eggshells, Newbery Honor-winning author Gail Carson Levine tells a moving and ambitious historical fiction story set during the expulsion of Jews from Spain, about a young Jewish girl full of heart who must play her own role in her people’s epic history—no matter the sacrifice.
Surrounded by her large family, Loma is happy living in the judería of Alcalá de Henares, Spain, in this powerful coming of age tale, and wants nothing more than to someday have a family of her own.
Still, when her intimidating grandfather, her Belo, decides to bring her along on his travels, she’s excited to join him. Belo has the ear of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, and Loma relishes her adventures with him, adventures that are beyond the scope of most girls of the time. She soon learns just how dangerous the world is for the Jews of Spain, and how her grandfather’s influence keeps their people safe.
But the older Loma gets, the more she longs to realize her own dreams—if Belo will ever allow her to leave his side.
For a girl torn between her own desires and the fate of her people, what does it mean to be brave?
Coming of Age in History: Follow Loma as she grows from a happy young girl into a thoughtful young woman who understands the weight of her role and the sacrifices required. A Grandfather’s Protection: Witness the unique bond between Loma and her grandfather, Belo, a man with the ear of the king and queen, whose protection is the only thing standing between his people and danger. 15th-Century Spain: Journey through a richly detailed historical setting, from the vibrant judería to the royal court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, at a perilous moment for the Jews of Spain. Family and Duty: Explore the powerful, complex relationships of a large family and a young girl’s struggle to find her own path while honoring the traditions and expectations of her heritage.Léelo en cualquier dispositivo
