About this ebook
A lost afikoman, a time-traveling talking goat, and a never-ending seder illuminate the meaning of Passover in Dara Horn’s hilariously deadpan graphic novel. A family sits at the Passover seder table, but cannot find their afikoman—the hidden matzah required to end the meal—and as a result, they are trapped at a seder that cannot end. Six months in, a wisecracking talking goat shows up at their door with bad news: Thousands of years of previous seders have accumulated underneath their seder, and their afikoman is stuck in one of them. Now the family’s “wise child” must travel down with the goat through centuries of previous Passovers to find it—and to discover the questions he needs to start asking.

Dara Horn combines a time portal, and a talking goat with her dry wit, observations about family dynamics, and small lessons in Jewish history to tell this fantastic Passover middle grade story. Prolific illustrator Theo Ellsworth has added his own unique style to bring this story to life in a graphic novel. Instead of using the usual color panels that are typical of many graphic novels, he chooses to use intricate black and white line art which helps set the mood.
