Just out! Chains, a novel by Leah Gebber, was serialized in Mishpacha Magazine. I only read a few chapters, since we don’t get Mishpacha on a regular basis, but I’ve been waiting impatiently for it to be published as a book, so this is very exciting news. The novel is set right after the destruction of the Second Temple. The main characters are captured by the Romans and taken into slavery. I can’t tell you more, as I haven’t read enough, but it looks like a great read. My guess is that it wouldn’t be appropriate for younger children, due to violence, but I can’t say more until I read the whole book.
