'The beginning of what promises to be a powerful trilogy with YA crossover appeal, this epic starts strong and doesn't falter one iota, ending with a cliffhanger that will leave readers demanding more.'

Bridges: Multi-cultural books for a diverse world

Joe had so many questions for the new builder: Which tool was the most important? What if you were afraid of heights? How do you put scaffolding together?
He is really disappointed when he finds out that Radu doesn’t speak any English. Now he will never find out about building – or will he?
A story of understanding without words
Bridges - A new series of books for modern, multi-cultural Ireland for children aged 6-8
