Winner of the Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year Award 2024

A beautifully illustrated and presented intergenerational graphic novel that follows 11-year-old Benji and his elderly grandmother, Bubbe Rosa, as they traverse Brooklyn and Manhattan, gathering the ingredients for a Friday night dinner.





Bubbe's relationship with the city is complex & nothing is quite as she remembered it and she feels alienated and angry at the world around her. Benji, on the other hand, looks at the world, and his grandmother, with clear-eyed acceptance. As they wander the city, we catch glimpses of Bubbe's childhood in Germany, her young adulthood in 1950s Brooklyn, and her relationships; first with a baker called Gershon, and later with successful Joe, Benji's grandfather. Gradually we piece together snippets of Bubbe's life, gaining an insight to some of the things that have formed her cantankerous personality. The journey culminates on the Lower East Side in a moving reunion between Rosa and Gershon, her first love. As the sun sets, Benji and his Bubbe walk home over the Williamsburg Bridge to make dinner.




This is a powerful, affecting and deceptively simple story of Jewish identity, of generational divides, of the surmountability of difference and of a restless city and its inhabitants.

Handy until I can purchase a mower
Style: String Trimmer, Style: String Trimmer
I've used this thing heavily 3 times now. I need a mower but haven't had the spare money for one yet so this is what I'm using! My yard is just under 1 acre. I'ma list some pros and cons I've noticed in my good use.. Pros: it works.. really well! As you can see I live in Florida so grass grows super fast in our rainy season if I slack just 2 weeks oh my.. the power is strong, it's easy to work. Auto feed is a big help. I bought extra when I made this purchase I can go through about 1-2 rolls throughout the whole yard. Cons: the wire. It gets in the way so much and my large yard I use a 200 ft cord but that's not always enough so I can't complete my job completely but enough I'm happy with. When the auto feed is low i noticed it constantly over feeds the line and that honestly hurts sometimes! It's and easy fix but after doing it 5 times you're over it. Id just put a new one on but I feel that's just a waste. In the future I will be replacing mine to get rid of the wire.

Light Weight = Maneuverable
Style: String Trimmer
First time use today. It's works great. The light weight makes it so much more maneuverable than my very heavy 15 year old Echo weed line trimmer with heavy 58V battery. The Echo 58V battery died and did not want to spend $220 for new Echo battery with probably old tech battery. Debated on $300 EGO 56V trimmer and this corded 120VAC Black and Decker weed line trimer for $52. Also purchase a 50 ft AWG14 extension cord. The combination is terrific. Again the light weight is a revelation for me. The 6.5 Amp motor is plenty powerful. The thinner .065 line works well cut everything that needed wacking. The auto line feed works well. The length of tool fits me perfectly - I'm 5-4 so it may not be so good for tall folks. I extended to its max length. I wrapped the extension cord a few loops around the trigger handle and had no issues with cord staying on. Highly recommended with one could deal with extension cord. I don't see an issue with reliability and longevity. The electric motor seem well spec and strong. Really not much to go wrong with it. And no battery to deal with. For my very small yard it works great.

Great Light Weight String Trimmer and Edger!
Style: String Trimmer
I'm a 60 year old female and bought this because of the light weight. It was easy to put together, however, the instructions that came with it were terrible. It included only black and white images, with no written instruction. I found a great tutorial on YouTube that told how to assemble it and use it, and another on how to change the string. Buy extra string, so you'll have it ready! It does a great job on weeds and ivy. The edger is great. It is adjustable, but probably not the best for anyone taller than 5'6. It's noisy, but not so bad that it requires ear protection. I like that it's corded which makes it lighter and I don't have to fool with gas or heavy batteries.

Great weed wacker!
Style: String Trimmer
BLACK+DECKER Weed Wacker with Auto Feed, corded 14-Inch 2 in 1 String Trimmer Lawn Edger, Powerful 6.5-Amp. I recently purchased this trimmer and really like it. It took less than a minute to set up, and the adjustable height and handle make it very comfortable to use. It easily rotates between a string trimmer and a wheeled edger for clean lawn borders. I did go through two spools of line for 7,000 sq. ft. of grass, but for the price, it’s a very impressive tool.
