About 'The Effects of Pickled Herring'
The middle grade graphic novel 'The Effects of Pickled Herring' tells the story of 12-year-old Micah Gadsky and his spirited sister Alana as they prepare for their dual bar and bat mitzvah and grapple with a family secret that unravels their understanding of faith and identity. Micah's introspective nature and Alana's outgoing spirit collide, leading them to confront the complexities of growing up, and ultimately, the enduring power of familial bonds.
