"Raisel has been well educated by Zaydeh, her rabbi grandfather; loathe to accept charity after his death, she travels to the city in search of work and lands a job as scrub girl in the kitchen of a well-to-do rabbi. The cook works her mercilessly and laughs at Raisel's notion of attending the costumed festivities at Purim. But a kind deed to an old woman garners Raisel three wishes, and she makes a grand entrance at the party (dressed as Quen Esther) and wins the favor of the rabbi's son, leaving him with a riddle to ponder as she flees at midnight."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A lovely re-imagining of the Cinderella story, with a fine twist."--Starred, Booklist, "Raisel has been well educated by Zaydeh, her rabbi grandfather; loathe to accept charity after his death, she travels to the city in search of work and lands a job as scrub girl in the kitchen of a well-to-do rabbi.

Synopsis
A Jewish Cinderella What's more precious than rubies, more lasting than gold? Raisel knows. She learned it from her grandfather, a poor scholar who taught her. When he dies, Raisel finds work in the home of a rabbi. His jealous cook makes Raisel toil from sunup to sundown. And as the Jewish holiday of Purim approaches, Raisel works even harder. The rabbi's son presides over the Purim dinner, and Raisel listens closely when he responds to riddles posed by his guests. Is it possible that this young man can answer Raisel's riddle? Erica Silverman's lively retelling of the Cinderella story features a heroine for whom knowledge is as essential to happiness as love. In striking paintings, Susan Gaber captures all her beauty, external and internal.
