    About Bridge of Clay

    An unforgettable and sweeping family saga from Markus Zusak, the storyteller who gave us the extraordinary bestseller THE BOOK THIEF
     
    This is a signed edition with limited copies available.
     
    The breathtaking story of five brothers who bring each other up in a world run by their own rules. As the Dunbar boys love and fight and learn to reckon with the adult world, they discover the moving secret behind their father’s disappearance.

    At the center of the Dunbar family is Clay, a boy who will build a bridge—for his family, for his past, for greatness, for his sins, for a miracle.

    The question is, how far is Clay willing to go? And how much can he overcome?
     
    Written in powerfully inventive language and bursting with heart, BRIDGE OF CLAY is signature Zusak.

    Praise

    Praise for The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: 

    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
    WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD
    MORE THAN 16 MILLION COPIES SOLD
     
    “Brilliant and hugely ambitious.” –The New York Times Book Review

    “Deserves a place on the shelf with the Diary of Anne Frank . . . Poised to become a classic.” —USA Today

    “Absorbing and searing.” —Washington Post

    “Zusak’s novel is a major achievement.” –People

    “Zusak doesn’t sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse-Five: with grim, darkly consoling humor.” –Time
