ย During the fall leading up to her bat mitzvah, Tara (Hindi for โstarโ) Feinstein has a lot more than her Torah portion on her mind. Between Hebrew school and study sessions with the rabbi, there doesnโt seem to be enough time to hang out with her best friend Ben-Oโwho might also be her boyfriendโand her other best friend, Rebecca, whoโs getting a little too cozy with the snotty Sheila Rosenberg. Not to mention working on her robotics project with the class clown Ryan Berger, or figuring out what to do with a priceless heirloom sari that she accidentally ruined. Amid all this drama, Tara considers how to balance her Indian and Jewish identities and what it means to have a bat mitzvah while questioning her faith.
With the cross-cultural charm of Bend It Like Beckham, this delightful debut novel is a classic coming-of-age story and young romance with universal appeal.

Praise for My Basmati Bat Mitzvah
"In my opinion, My Basmati Bat Mitzvah shows that everyone is different in their own way and some get the advantage of being culturally diverse. I rate the book 5 stars!"
โShivani Desai, age 13
STARRED REVIEW
"The latest spunky heroine of South AsianโJewish heritage to grace middle-grade fiction, Tara Feinstein, 12, charms readers from the get-go in this strong, funny debut."
โKirkus Reviews, starred review
"Taraโs inquisitiveness, openness, and determination to chart her own path stand out in this warm story of family, faith and the ways people are unique yet intertwined."
โPublishers Weekly
ย
"With a conversational and authentic tween voice, Tara invites readers into her world as she explores the larger issues of faith, compassion, and tradition while confronting the awkwardness that is pubertyโher questions regarding God are poignant and relatable while her opinions on training bras are simply spot-on..."
โThe Bulletin of The Center for Childrenโs Books
"Authors often mention but then shrink from exploring in depth their charactersโ mixed religious heritage; itโs a sensitive subject that demands close scrutiny. Freedman bucks that trend, avoiding didacticism by portraying broader issues through Taraโs personality and unique circumstances. As Tara learns in this skillful exploration, an important source of her special strengthsโquestioning spirit, empathy and strong ethical compassโis her mixed heritage."
โThe Jewish Daily Forward
"This story will have resonance for many children of many faiths at the cusp of religious adulthood."
โBooklist
"As she makes her way through these challenges, she learns a great deal about friendship, family, and heritage. Freedman handles the ethnic and religious diversity of Taraโs family and friends with a light touch, but doesnโt shrink from exploring some of the complexities of a dual heritage."
โSchool Library Journal
ย "This bookโs well-drawn characters bring two colorful cultures to vibrant life. The contemporary urban setting, cast with touches of humor and romance, frame mature ideas of peer and self-acceptance in a familiar, lighthearted world. Middle grade girls will readily befriend Tara and pick up new cultural understanding."
