Jesse's Star Paperback - 2000
by Ellen Schwartz
Jesse hasn't even started on his class project due the next day. He has no idea why his ancestors came to Canada, and his mother can't help him. His only hope is his great-great grandfather's traveling case in the attic, which might have some letters or a diary in it. Instead, all Jesse finds is a photo and a Star of David on a chain. But when the star begins to glow, Jesse finds himself traveling back in time, and becoming the star's first owner, his own great-great grandfather.
From the rear cover
"This optimistic tale of Jewish immigration fills a niche with its appealing warmth and energy." -Quill & Quire Jesse is in trouble. His class project is due tomorrow and he hasn't even started. How is he supposed to know why his ancestors came to Canada? Even his mom can't help him. Jesse's only hope is in the attic-maybe his great-great grandfather's traveling case will have some letters, passports, or even a diary inside. But the case contains only an old photograph and a Star of David.
