Heading into quarantine. Looking to order some amazing Jewish novels for myself and my kids... I m a writer/writing teacher myself so really critical  Usually I check out the books myself in the judaica stores but need your help this time because I'm ordering online...
Thanks
(Suggestions of Jewish novels for young teenage boys appreciated too!)

Just finished a new book by Barbara Bensoussan-it's a jewish parody on pride and prejudice called pride and preference. Really different to the usual jewish book and really good. Recommend it highly.

Name the Stars is a newish novel for middle school and up. I liked it, a lot!
Did you read Map the Starlight as a Mishpacha serial? It was wonderful.
I just started Wildlands. M. Kenan, need I say more? But it's a western, not Kuzari.
I've seen a bunch of newer ones but haven't yet read them.
ETA: I like the suggestions so far.

This book is excellent but definitely not new! Sundays at 10 by the same author is also great.
Quicksand and Stay With Me by Libby Lazewnik are pretty new and I liked a lot but they were serialized in the Binah so you may have read them.
Some of my favorites that aren't either brand new are:
Tomorrow - Shuli Meansch
Normal Like me - Ruti Kepler
Forgive me - Sarah Schwartzman
Promise Me Jerusalem -Chany Rosengarten (this is a different book and so good)
Dreams delayed and Silent Storms - Ariella Schiller (I love these, I've read both so many times warning that the first is a real tear jerker if you don't want that)
I also like pretty much everything by Riva Pomeranz except for her Prism books and her newest book Enough was good but not at all on the level of her other books, it was a let down coming from this author.

Map the Starlight is for high school and up.
For younger boys, Chayale Kohaine's Framed is a good read. (For Mommy too.)
