The Bridges in Paris

We just recently returned from a trip to Paris with our two young granddaughters. I purchased this for our nine-year-old to start reading on the plane with hopes of her being able to finish it during our time in Paris. She couldn't stop reading and read the last pages as we landed. She was so anxious to 'see what happens next' and 'find out the mystery' that she didn't even watch a movie during the long flight.

I read this book before I went to France with my family. It was a great story. I loved the map at the end of the book with descriptions of where to find the places that they talk about in the book. We tried to go to them all. My sister and I liked to help plan how we spent each day.

We bought this book for our children before we went to Paris this year. We thought it would be a good idea to have them read something other than a travelguide before we went(which we read) because they find Frommers and the like quite boring. They really enjoyed the book and it gave them things to look for while we were in Paris that actually have some (even if imginary) meaning for them other than their parents telling them it was historical. The glossary and guides at the end of the book were just as good as the rest of the book.
