Selma Meir left the pristine cleanliness and order of life in Germany to become the head nurse at Sha'arei Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, braving epidemic, filth, and war. Schvester Selma, as she was affectionately known, stayed on from what was meant to be a three-year stay, for seventy years, treating the ill, adopting the orphaned, and transforming a primitive, disorganized hospital into a clean, well-functioning one. Here we meet Dr. Wallach, the fiery founder of the hospital; Dudu, the sharp-tongued washerwoman; and, of course, Schvester Selma, tiny, yet determined, devoting her life to helping others.

Once there was a family. Their name was Baker. They had many children. Twelve of them. The Baker's Dozen. It begins as a spring cleaning project-and ends in disaster. While trying to declutter her overcrowded home, Mrs. Baker topples down the stairs and winds up in the hospital. Her children-the Baker's dozen-assure their parents that they'll be able to manage by themselves until their mother can return home. And they do manage-to get into a lot of trouble. Potatoes explode and egg yolks fly during the great dinner disaster. Someone makes off with big brother Ashi's money, Mr. Baker's valuable computer diskette is damaged, and Donny and little Saraleh mysteriously disappear. See how the Baker kids finally work out their problems and learn some valuable lessons in this beloved, fun-filled series, now back in print!

Through Thick and Thin (Baker's Dozen, 9)

When Yochie invades her privacy once too often, Dini decides that she’s had enough of being one of five. She moves out of the big sunny bedroom she shares with her sisters.
