Love me some nonfiction! #TLT #ThreeListThursday
pickBad reviews almost put me off my November #doublespin pick. Glad they didn‘t because I really enjoyed this immersive piece of historical fiction that brought late 19th century NYC to life. The pace was slow but I enjoyed following the hapless Harris as he stumbled from Barnum, to street gang, to sewer, to the Brooklyn Bridge in search of the elusive American dream or at least just a safe place to land in the growing chaotic city.
Multiple award winning author, Karen Hesse, shines in this MG/YA novel of a family in 1903 New York

This books if for older readers but uses great illustrations for pictures.
pickGreat book to tell us about the history of the Brooklyn Bridge.
This book is chock full of factoids, and big pictures, and scale, and real people, etc. There is lots of detail about how the bridge is made, information about the steel cables and the bends and so on.
