"The Bridge""shows how hard it can be to tell right from wrong, especially in the face of war. This page-turner and first novel is well placed for a sequel.'

"--Kirkus Reviews"

"This grim first novel, set on a not-so-distant future Earth ... packs a significant emotional wallop.... Higgins works hard to expose the religious and racial bigotry lurking behind so many military conflicts, and she is adept at showing that, frequently, neither side is without blame."
- "Publishers Weekly"

."..the gritty, painfully tense passages describing the ways in which war affects children - teens in particular - are compelling and deftly written."
--"The Horn Book
"
."..truly an engrossing and compelling story.... Higgins' depiction of a world gone mad on war and drunk on power and fear is on par with the best that dystopian literature has to offer.... "The Bridge "surpasses its contemporaries as it delves into areas rarely explored so convincingly by others in the genre ... avid enthusiasts of dystopian literature ... should not pass on "The Bridge"...."
--Highly Recommended, "CM Magazine"
