The Judgment of Yoyo Gold

"Set in an Orthodox Jewish community, The Judgment of Yoyo Gold brings one “perfect” girl’s internal and external struggles into high relief. A born rule-follower and daughter of a rabbi, Yoyo has never questioned the standards that govern her life. But when one of her friends is cast out of the community for what seems like a minor transgression, Yoyo’s beliefs and morality are put to the test, and her foray into the world outside brings intense conflict. A deeply modern and moving YA novel set in a tightly closed community, this book is a near-perfect exploration of teen self-discovery."
