Cures for Heartbreak 
by Margo Rabb

Publication Date: February 13, 2007

         When no one was around, Mrs. F;emsky liked to chant Yiddish in a vaguly musical tone.  "Oy gevalt oy gevalt oygevaltoygevalt.  Oy oy oy oyoyoyoyoyoyoy" ina constant refrain.  Alex had pinched me in the side and led me to the solarium.

         "I had to get out  of there," she said.  "It's like Intro to Yiddish.  Yiddish 101."

         "Like a  cappella klezmer music," I said.

         "Oyoyoy," my sister sang.

Cures for Heartbreak is another book that I discovered while making my reading list for my Books & Related Materials for Young Adults class (there's going to be A LOT of those in the next couple weeks).  It is one of my picks for realistic fiction, and it is really great so far.  It is not a happy book, but it is funny in places, which alleviates the seriousness.  There is a big emphasis on survival that I found really poignant.  I'm really enjoying the book so far.
