Adam Gopnik Synopsis: The Steps Across the Water is a children’s fantasy adventure novel by Adam Gopnik. Ten-year-old Rose lives in New York – a place where extraordinary things happen every day on every block. But Rose wasn’t born in New York; she was adopted as an infant from a far-away country. Rose loves her home and her family, but sometimes she can’t help but feel like she doesn’t belong. Then one day in Central Park, Rose sees something extraordinary: a crystal staircase rises out of the lake, and two small figures climb the shimmering steps before vanishing like a mirage. Only it’s not a mirage. Rose is being watched – recruited – by representatives of U Nork, a hidden city where Dirigibles and Zeppelins skirt dazzling skyscrapers that would dwarf the Chrysler building. Well-dressed U Norkers glide along the sidewalks on roller skates. Rose can hardly take everything in. Then she learns the most astonishing thing about U Nork. Its citizens are in danger, and they need Rose’s help, and hers alone…
First read Paris to the Moon on my first trip to Paris. Very taken with
Luca, Adam and Martha’s son. I am curious as to how he turned out.
What is he doing now? I follow all of Adam Gopnik’s literary offerings.
The New Yorker is my favorite magazine. I also have Americans in Paris
found in a thrift shop! No better editor than Gopnik. Please answer.
