The Boy on the Bridge 12+

About this book

When Laura decides to spend a semester in Russia, it is for many reasons. She wants to learn the language. See the culture. Walk through the wintery streets. Escape all the confusion back home.

She does not intend to fall in love.

But there he is - the boy on the bridge. Alyosha. Fate pushes them together, and once they're there, neither one of them wants to let go. But what chance does their love have in a place where the truth is dangerous and complicated, and the future seems as abstract as the present is real?

"This book has a long shelf life ahead of it, and can be easily offered to any teen as an excellent read." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review

"Humor abounds in the inner workings of this interesting and unusual family." --KIRKUS REVIEWS

"Standiford makes reading about Baltimore high society and the flawed, pampered, but likable Sullivans feel like a wickedly guilty pleasure. . . . Readers will wish that more family members had confessions to make." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"[A] sweet and charming new novel." -- VOYA
