Sixteen-year-old Ginny's life is secure. Her mother is dead, but she's inherited her outstanding artistic talent, and she loves her life with her father in a seaside village in Wales. But the day a social worker arrives and old files are re-opened, Ginny's world cracks apart. Everything her father has told her about her family is a lie. And Ginny must uncover the hidden secrets of the past on a journey that will ultimately lead her to the mother she's never known...

wonderful
this really is a wonderful book about discovery and i have read it several times - it never gets old, even when you do!

Disappointing ...
oth "The Butterfly Tattoo" and "The Broken Bridge" are decidedly avarage books, which is pretty much all there is to say abou them. Coming from Philip Pullman they are utterly disappointing. I loved both the "His Dark Materials" trilogy and the Sally Lockhart books, but fiction seems to be Philip Pullman's (only?) weak point.

"pullman does it again!"
philip pulman's book ''the broken bridge'' is really good.It kept me gript and i enjoyed reading it fully.The book was easy to get into and i would definetly recommend it to any adult or teenager.The book was just as good as ''the fire-work makers daighter" which i would also recomend though proberly to the lower age group of 8-12.Ginny in this book is the main charactor and is about how she wants to find out more about her life and who her real parents are.as it gets close to her finding out the truth when she goes to meet her grandpaerents with her half-brother you really can't put the book down.it's totaly gripping and a fantastic read.BUY IT!!!!you won't regret it........
