Bridge 108 by Anne Charnock

3.0

Bridge 108 is the story of a refugee boy during the near future when southern Europe is in a climate crisis. Caleb is an interesting boy who gets trafficked into a community in England. The interesting thing is that he does not really even realize that he was trafficked. Shortly after arriving he "escapes" and ends up as a migrant worker. Caleb spends the next five years developing hope that he will have a great life in this new country but has he already found the place where he belongs.

Bridge 108 was a interesting concept but it moved so quickly. While Caleb might spend a decent amount of time in some of the location he lands the story does not making it hard to really get a feeling for the place or what he experiences. This makes it hard to fully understand his choice in the end. Usually I feel like books are too long now a days but this one could have been slightly longer.
