It's the summer of 1903 in Brooklyn and all fourteen-year-old
Joseph Michtom wants is to experience the thrill, the grandeur, and
the electricity of the new amusement park at Coney Island. But that
doesn't seem likely. Ever since his parents--Russian
immigrants--invented the stuffed Teddy Bear five months ago,
Joseph's life has turned upside down. No longer do the Michtom's
gather family and friends around the kitchen table to talk. No
longer is Joseph at leisure to play stickball with the guys. Now,
Joseph works. And complains. And falls in love. And argues with
Mama and Papa. And falls out of love. And hopes. Joseph hopes he'll
see Coney Island soon. He hopes that everything will turn
right-side up again. He hopes his luck hasn't run out--because you
never know. Through all the warmth, the sadness, the frustration,
and the laughter of one big, colorful family, Newbery Medalist
Karen Hesse builds a stunning story of the lucky, the unlucky, and
those in between, and reminds us that our lives--all our lives--are
fragile, precious, and connected.
