Twelve-year-old Sarah Stein loves life in New York. Who wouldn't,
growing up in a cool TriBeCa loft with an artist dad and a
chocolate-maker mom, rollerblading in Central Park, hanging out
with friends? That is, until the day her parents tell her they're
divorcing. Forced to shuttle each day by bicycle between their
separate residences on either side of the Brooklyn Bridge, Sarah
soon discovers that the parents she thought she knew are as
opposite as their new homes. She takes on a bizarrely split
identity-one day she's the daughter of the prim, social-climbing
chocolatier, the next the streetwise, smart-aleck child of the
downtown abstract painter. Sarah Stein becomes a stranger to
herself. But that's not the only thing that's strange. Colliding
with the cart of a homeless man one day while pedaling across the
bridge, Sarah tumbles through a magical portal and into an
upside-down world of double identities and second chances. Through
her friendship with the homeless Clarence Wind, a disgraced fireman
missing since 9/11, and the love of her grandmother, a wise
Holocaust survivor with her own hidden past, Sarah unlocks the
mysteries behind the strangeness that she and Clarence share. In
this witty, wonder-filled novel about broken homes and disconnected
lives, with the majestic Brooklyn Bridge as backdrop and the
legacies of the Holocaust and the Twin Towers as backstory, Sarah
Stein's adventures prove both heartbreaking and heartwarming, an
enchantment for readers of all ages.
