To Brooklyn with LoveThis braille book for senior high grades consists of 4 volumes totaling 597 pages. Albert Abrams, far more conscious of his physical clumsiness and frailty than aware of his superior intellect, lives in a world of heroic fantasies and struggles with the tough multiracial youth of his decaying Brooklyn neighborhood. Solicitous Mother Abrams hovers in the background, and clumsy but caring Dr. Abrams is present much of the time. The 2 of them virtually steal the limelight of this Depression-era, father-son period piece which fundamentally celebrates the triumph of courage and affection over personal difficulties. BBP, 10-76. |
