BACK TO BAINBRIDGE

Welcome to Bainbridge Avenue in the Bronx, NY, where fourteen-year-old Vicki's life takes a bumpy turn. She's got a lot on her plate – sharing a cramped room with her siblings, worrying about her mom who can't catch a break, and dreaming about a dad who's nowhere to be found.

 

But things start to change when Vicki makes friends with Rosa, the super’s daughter in Apartment 1A, who introduces to her to the building’s basement – a world full of forgotten stories and mysteries waiting to be uncovered. Down there, Vicki and her newfound friends dig deeper into their neighbors' lives, and discover that everyone's got their secrets.

 

When she boldly sets out beyond her neighborhood searching for her place in the world, Vicki begins to wonder if the imperfect family and friends she has back on Bainbridge Avenue might just be the treasures she's been wishing for all along. Join her on a journey of hope, heartache, and unexpected discoveries in Back to Bainbridge.

BOOK REVIEWS 

Back to Bainbridge is a delightful upper middle-grade novel that takes you on a journey with young Vicki to find belonging. It sparked our students' curiosity about their own family histories and how patterns repeat and can sometimes be broken if people are willing to communicate openly.
