Water Street by Patricia Reilly Giffrating: 4 of 5 stars
5 reasons to love this book:
1. The cover.
2. The main character is a 13-year old named Bird. (short for Bridget)
3. It is set in 19th Century Brooklyn during the building of the Brooklyn Bridge.
4. It includes the struggles of two Irish immigrant families.
5. It's about family, and healing, and hope.
I can't wait until my daughter gets old enough to read it. I think I'll read it with her then too.

I do love when someone else loves a book I recommend :) I agree - I'd be happy to read this one again with my girl :)
Great recommendation Corinne. It was such a sweet story.
I love stories with strong immigrant families, so I'm adding this one to my wish list.
I agree, that cover is neat!
