In THE BRIDGE HOME, 11-year-old Viji and her 12-year-old developmentally disabled sister, Rukku, flee their abusive father and their village in India for the city, where they find friendship and shelter by pitching a makeshift tent atop an abandoned bridge. Soon, like millions of other homeless kids in that part of the world, they're spending their days slogging through piles of trash hoping to find something they can sell to stay alive. With two boys about their age and a stray dog they've rescued, they form their own family, help each other, and have a lot of pride. But the danger is everywhere, from violent people to disease and injury. (Review by Common Sense Media)
