Avoid Working on a Victorian Bridge

Author Tom Ratliff, Illustrator Mark Bergin

It'll take fourteen years, but as the son of a reknowned architect, it's up to you to continue building the Brooklyn Bridge after your father's death. You'll dig deep underwater, and some workers won't survive, but it will be a remarkable achievement that folks of the future will thank you for! The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach encourage readers to get emotionally involved with the characters, aiding their understanding of the severe risks people took to ensure that bridge was built.
