The Cresta Adventure by Ruth Benjamin, a tween/YA mystery adventure originally out from Orthodox Jewish specialty publisher Feldheim ( Wikipedia) in 1989.
It was to be a quiet, restful summer vacation at Cresta, but instead, Lea Greenberg has the greatest adventure ever! When she and her mother arrive at the quaint coastal village, they find a charming cottage and a whole family of delightful neighbors, the Rubins, to liven up their stay.
Lea and the Rubin twins, Devorah and Dina, quickly become friends and set out to explore the local attractions. At the Cresta Museum - a genuine castle that was once the elegant home of Lord and Lady Tranfield - they accidently discover a secret passage leading to a whole network of under¬ground caves.
Benjamin's other YA & adult-level backlist & self-published novels from previous days are also still free. |
Interesting to see some Jewish literature showing up.
My previous experience with Feldheim tells me they are a pretty good source of special interest non-fiction, but I haven't had much success finding decent Jewish fiction (Feldheim or otherwise, but they do seem to have an incidental stranglehold).
OTOH, I have apparently read a few books by Mrs. Benjamin
-- although it was some time ago.
Have you read her/others' work, and what do you think about them?
