Brooklyn Bridge by Karen Hesse Book Summary

Karen Hesse has achieved many honors for her more than twenty books over the course of her award-winning career: the Newbery Medal, the Scott O'Dell Historical Fiction Award, the MacArthur Fellowship "Genius" Award, and the Christopher Medal. Her novels burn with intensity, and keenly felt, deeply researched, and are memorable for their imagination and intelligence.

So it is with great pride and excitement that we present Karen Hesse's first novel in over five years: Brooklyn Bridge.

It's the summer of 1903 in Brooklyn and all fourteen-year-old Joseph Michtom wants is to experience the thrill, the grandeur, and the electricity of the new amusement park at Coney Island. But that doesn't seem likely. Ever since his parents—Russian immigrants—invented the stuffed Teddy Bear five months ago, Joseph's life has turned upside down. No longer do the Michtom's gather family and friends around the kitchen table to talk. No longer is Joseph at leisure to play stickball with the guys. Now, Joseph works. And complains. And falls in love. And argues with Mama and Papa. And falls out of love. And hopes. Joseph hopes he'll see Coney Island soon. He hopes that everything will turn right-side up again. He hopes his luck hasn't run out—because you never know.

Through all the warmth, the sadness, the frustration, and the laughter of one big, colorful family, Newbery Medalist Karen Hesse builds a stunning story of the lucky, the unlucky, and those in between, and reminds us that our lives—all our lives—are fragile, precious, and connected.
Brooklyn Bridge is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Brooklyn Bridge. This book was absolutely amazing! I strongly encourage all of the historical readers out there to read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great eye opener. This book was a bit confusing but it was a great metaphoric story.🤗

Amazing. This book is in my top three favorite books. I loved it! Karen Hesse drew you in and kept you guessing at the right times in Brooklyn Bridge. I read this book just this year when I was in 8th grade and I found it to be the a very close runner up to my all time favorite book!

Just Bad. It was not good. It was very boring. It made me cry it was so bad.😭😭
