"Brooklyn Bridge" by Karen Hesse tells the story of a young boy named Joseph Michtom, who lives in New York City in 1903. As the Brooklyn Bridge is being constructed, Joseph navigates the challenges of his immigrant family while dreaming of a brighter future. Through his eyes, readers experience the bustling world of Brooklyn, the struggles of his Jewish family, and the significance of the bridge as a symbol of hope and progress. The narrative beautifully intertwines themes of perseverance, community, and the immigrant experience, capturing the excitement and challenges of life in a rapidly changing city.
