Reseña del libro "The Bridge (en Inglés)"
What if the thing you fear the most - is the very thing that will save you? The Bridge, is a Young Adult coming-of-age story that's set in a rural town on the California Coast. On New Year's Eve 1960 Acacia turns thirteen. Her birthday wish is to be courageous enough to cross the old, dilapidated bridge. She and her friend want to find out why a light is shining in the deserted migrant camp where a girl's body was found a few years before. The teens cross The Bridge that night and encounter a man living in an old cabin. He invites them in, but fear sends then running home. The following day the teens spy on the man, trying to find out what he's doing over there. Soon they discover someone is spying on them; thus the adventure of their lives begins. The next year, Acacia is brutally attacked. With her assailant wandering free, she finds solace and protection from her best friend Dwight, Mrs. A, the eccentric next-door neighbor, and a Native American who lives off the land. Acacia heals physically, but to thrive emotionally she'll have to learn that there's more than one-way to see things. Ultimately, she'll have to leave her judgments behind and journey over the bridge of curiosity, tolerance, and truth. The Bridge deals with social, political, and religious themes related to injustice, intolerance, and acceptance.
