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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrooklyn Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Square Fish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312674281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.61h x 5.17w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e124429 \/ Brooklyn Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Karen Hesse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43972167499957,"sku":"9780312674281","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_416fd95c-3b01-4e0c-9222-e7cf364c2d5a.jpg?v=1713282323","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brooklyn-bridge-9780312674281","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
