Editorial Review

“Jodie lives in Israel and wants to become an archaeologist just like her father. When her American cousin Zach visits during Passover, her father brings them to Hezekiah’s Tunnel in Jerusalem. Before they go in the tunnel, her father challenges them to figure out the ‘riddle of the middle.’ Jodie’s flashlight lights the way as the two descend underground into the long, narrow and low-ceilinged tunnel that once provided an escape route for King Hezekiah. Jodie and Zach’s keen sense of observation helps them unravel the riddle—and enjoy a holiday picnic of jelly and butter matza sandwiches.” —Hadassah Magazine
