Saralee Siegel (Book Two)
Starlight Soup

Does starlight have a smell? If anyone can find out, Saralee can. No one in the world has a nose quite like hers. A super-nose.

​

Saralee is the master sniffer in her family’s restaurant, able to identify ingredients from a mile away. As Sukkot approaches and Zadie prepares to welcome their holiday guests, he has a mission for Saralee: sniff out a brand-new recipe that’s never been done before.

​

Gazing at the stars through the roof of her sukkah, Saralee has an inspiration. What if she could smell her way to the stars? What if the stars had a scent? A flavor? But when Saralee’s Starlight Soup is a taste-bud disaster, she’ll need an open mind, a little luck, and her super-nose to save the town!
