My first realization that something unusual and very terrible had happened in Russia occurred one day while I was sitting on the floor of our salon and drawing a picture of an imaginary "firebird." I had heard the word Bolsheviks many times, but it had no meaning for me. Suddenly my father rushed in and took my mother into his arms. He whispered something in her ear and she broke into tears. Immediately I was gathered into his arms and our small family went to our Russian church.

The first reign of Tutankhamen, as Pharaoh of Egypt, lasted just seven years. Crowned Pharaoh at age ten, he was dead at eighteen. Then, three thousand years later, Tutankhamen reigned over the hopes of twentieth century archaeologists. The Valley of the Kings had been plundered for thirty centuries and stripped of most artifacts. But some Egyptologists suspected that one tomb, that of Tutankhamen, had not yet been discovered. Howard Carter waited twelve years for permission to search the Valley, then hunted for another seven years, before he stunned the world with the greatest find any Egyptologist has ever made.

Johnny Dixon's new book, The Bridge is a delightful story of a young boy's adventure set in 1950's Camden, New Jersey. Little does he realize, that this innocent childhood outing shared with friends, will leave an everlasting impression on his life. Dixon's wanderings take him through the streets of an ethnically diverse Camden, where the sights and sounds of a bygone era can still be seen and heard through his keenly observant and descriptive style. This story is more than just about a boy, a bike, and a bridge. It is about the human need for exploration, the search for self, and the people that we meet along the way in life's checkered tapestry. More than this though, it is a story about values, commitment, family and the love of one's country. The appeal of The Bridge is that anyone who reads it is sent back to their childhood. We were all the boy with the bike. It leads to reflection on the past and acknowledgement and that we must move forward. A good read for children, parents and grandparents alike.
