I picked this up at a thrift store for $1 and then later thought I might not even read it. To be honest, the description really didn't sound all that interesting - a 500 page book about a girl who wants to build a bridge? Really?
I can say I was definitely wrong! I found myself reading this book every free chance I had, and I fell in love with the characters and the storyline. The end of the story is a little sad, and the ending is pretty abrupt (it almost makes you think, "Where's the rest of the story?!"), but I would still definitely recommend this book.
