Subway Love

Nora Raleigh Baskin's 'Subway Love' tells the poignant story of Laura, a young girl grappling with the emotional turmoil of her parents' divorce. Her anxiety about weekend visits to her dad's Manhattan apartment is momentarily forgotten when she spots a captivating boy, Jonas, on an opposing subway platform. Unbeknownst to her, Jonas is equally smitten and thinking of her. The narrative beautifully weaves together Laura's very real struggles with the fantastical element of time travel, suggesting that destiny might be at play, but also that obstacles, even those of time, can challenge true connection. It's a thoughtful exploration of first love, resilience, and finding hope amidst significant family change, suitable for children aged 4-11.
