David Da-Wei Horowitz（大伟）不能取悦他犹太裔和华裔的祖母。在《这只是个考验》（This Is Just a Test）这本书里，12岁的大伟在1980冷战时期长大，每天担心核武器攻击，不能适应社会。当他的华裔外婆搬进来，他犹太裔的奶奶决定从纽约市搬至弗吉尼亚州，计划大伟的犹太成年礼。
作者Wendy Wan-Long Shang 和 Madelyn Rosenberg讲述了一个即将年满13岁的中犹混血的美国男孩的有趣故事。《这只是个考验》非常好地展现了大伟在文化和朋友间充满智慧和真实性的挣扎，没有乏味的虚张声势。角色都非常真实，有很深刻的情感，不是刻板印象。
大伟的祖母互相争吵感恩节的食物，但是同意大伟对于她们来说既不是完整的犹太人也不是完整的华人。他做到最好来讨她们欢心，他的朋友Scott也一起，因为他想赢得接下来的学区比赛。Scott不喜欢他们的队友，也是大伟最好的朋友Hector。大伟和Scott开始挖一个避难所，直到大伟不确定是否想和Scott一起在地下的避难所度过余生。也许有Hector和大伟喜欢的一个友善的焦糖色金发的女孩Kelli Ann一起会更好。对于大伟来说，从核战争中存活下来像是最小的一个问题。
《这只是个考验》讲述了一个充满男子气慨的男孩的温暖故事。这是一本非常适合8岁至12岁儿童的夏天读物。

David Da-Wei Horowitz has a lot on his plate. Preparing for his upcoming bar mitzvah would be enough work even if it didn't involve trying to please his Jewish and Chinese grandmothers, who argue about everything. But David just wants everyone to be happy.
That includes his friend Scott, who is determined to win their upcoming trivia tournament but doesn't like their teammate -- and David's best friend -- Hector. Scott and David begin digging a fallout shelter just in case this Cold War stuff with the Soviets turns south... but David's not so convinced he wants to spend forever in an underground bunker with Scott. Maybe it would be better if Hector and Kelli Ann came with them. But that would mean David has to figure out how to stand up for Hector and talk to Kelli Ann. Some days, surviving nuclear war feels like the least of David's problems.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for This Is Just a Test:
* "It's refreshing to meet a male protagonist who, like Tara in Paula Freedman's My Basmati Bat Mitzvah, is struggling with how to be authentically Jewish in a bicultural family. . . . Giggle-inducing, light, and charmingly realistic fiction that will resonate with a wide variety of readers." School Library Journal, starred review
"There's a lot to enjoy, but it's David's relationships with his two grandmothers that steal the show, especially when the rivals eventually unite to teach him he's not 'half of each' but 'all of both.' A nostalgic and heartwarming period coming-of-age comedy." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A journey filled with humor, emotional depth, and important realizations about what it means to be a friend and to embrace multiple cultures. His struggle to make sense of the Cold War will resonate with readers grappling with a confusing political climate themselves." -- Publishers Weekly
"This novel tackles the very difficult topic of understanding who you are while appreciating your background and differences... In today's society, where families come in diverse variations and many children are growing up biracial and/or multiethnic, plenty of readers will find relevance to their lives in this middle-grade novel." -- School Library Connection
"The first-person narrative engages readers with David's candid reflections as well as his droll telling of events." -- Booklist
"Rosenberg and Shang keep the plot episodic and light, allowing David's feuding grandmothers to upstage the kids in many of the acts... Underpinning the domestic comedy is respect for fears that transcend generations." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
