This middle grade chapter book tells the story of two best friends who look nothing alike and hail from very different neighborhoods.
The only snag in their friendship? Ami isn’t allowed to cross the log bridge that spans from Meadow Park to Selah’s neighborhood. According to her dad, Mr. Thrash, it’s a dangerous place, full of criminals. Selah, of course, disagrees.
Written by brothers Zion (8) and Zephaniah (12), the tale explores overcoming adversity, mending broken friendships, and creating positive change through community action.
