This review is from teh perspective of a mother. I am reading the Rebecca series to evaluate when they will be appropriate to share with my daughter.
Here's another one that requires suspension of disbelief, but I'm sure it provides enough adventure for the target audience!
The opening of the book, with its emphasis on the bar mitzvah rite of passage for Rebecca's older brother, was interesting, if a bit pedantic. The story quickly shifts to fun and adventure at Coney Islan...more

rebecca's older brother, victor, turns 13 & is ready for his bar mitzvah. there's some explanation about saying the hebrew prayer, the men sitting is a separate part of the church from the women & children, how victor gets to join them now because the bar mitzvah is his entry into jewish manhood, etc etc. there's a hilarious part where an old man in their synagogue says, "judging from the trousers, i see today you are a man." meaning, you know, he's wearing long pants now & not the sho...more
Well, I think the best part was the part she saves the day. I just finished it today and started it today. I really didn't watch the time and kept reading. I finished the book just a few minutes ago. It was really good. I really enjoyed reading it I can't wait to start reading the next book. Changes for Rebecca. It sounds like a really exciting book. I read a little into the next book. It sounds great.
Number Five in the American Girl series about Rebecca Rubin, Lower East Side resident in 1914. Rebecca and her family visit Coney Island. When the ferris wheel gets stuck with her cousin Ana at the top, Rebecca climbs the fire department ladder to rescue her frightened cousin.
It was a whirlwind delight of excitement and suspense as Rebecca and her family spent the day at Coney Island.
Her cousin Ana is in a Ferris Wheel and the Ferris Wheel has a problem, and that's who Rebecca rescues.
While Rebecca and Anna broke the rules they were given, it did show how you can find inner strength when you need to do what is right.
This one is far more contrived than the others, but still very good.
This is an ok book. I think that this is not the best in the series.
A
I really don't thenk that Rebecca and her sister's shoud make fun of her bother when he is tieing show horder to get ever theing right. And I don't like how her Gamma is coubing about swimming sush's I mean it's 1914. I do like how Rebecca is sow bave to clom up the lader to rescue Ana and how ciend her bother is at the end.
great just finished
