Stars 5/5
The Bridge Home by Padma Venkatraman
What a wonderful coming of age book that deals with abuse, survival, finding friends, trust and even death. The story follows Viji and her developmentally disabled sister Rukku. The sisters run away from their home due to their Father's abuse and find themselves living on the street and trying to get food anywhere they can. They meet other kids that are living on the street and find that some they can trust and learn from. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it to kids of all ages.
