Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Stella Zawistowski's "Get It Up" is 2.5/5 difficulty. Always a huge treat to run a puzzle by our longtime friend and ace test-solver Stella!

Meanwhile, a wholehearted plug for some non-crossword work by an AVCX mainstay, Aimee Lucido, whose new kids' book, "Recipe for Disaster," just entered the world yesterday. It's the story of a twelve-year-old Jew-ish girl who goes behind her family's back to give herself the bat mitzvah of her dreams. You can order a signed copy here, or an un-signed copy wherever books are sold.

Be well,

Ben and the AVCX crew
