review:
'Galloping Gertie' by Amanda Abler with illustrations by Levi Hastings is a picture book about a young boy and a famous disaster.
A young boy named Dale and his family walk across a new suspension bridge when it opens in 1940. The bridge kind of rolls under their feet as they walk, but as they soon find out that shouldn't be the case. The bridge was the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, also known as Galloping Gertie.
This story did a good job of mixing story and science. Also, even though this was a tragedy, it's not portrayed as too scary. The illustrations are really top notch too.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Sasquatch Books, Little Bigfoot, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
