Overview
In A Ceiling Made of Eggshells, Newbery
Honor-winning author Gail Carson Levine tells a moving and ambitious story set
during the expulsion of Jews from Spain, about a young Jewish girl full of
heart who must play her own role in her people’s epic history—no matter the
sacrifice.
Surrounded
by her large family, Loma is happy living in the judería of Alcalá de Henares,
Spain, and wants nothing more than to someday have a family of her own.
Still, when
her intimidating grandfather, her Belo, decides to bring her along on his
travels, she’s excited to join him. Belo has the ear of King Ferdinand and
Queen Isabella, and Loma relishes her adventures with him, adventures that are
beyond the scope of most girls of the time. She soon learns just how dangerous
the world is for the Jews of Spain, and how her grandfather’s influence keeps
their people safe.
But the
older Loma gets, the more she longs to realize her own dreams—if Belo will ever
allow her to leave his side.
