Everett Hallman might not be the world's most powerful witch, but he does his part by helping wayward souls find their way to the beyond. Then a feeling Everett can't explain lures him away from the magical woods near his house, to a local martial arts school. There, he is intrigued when he uncovers remains left by supernatural beings of enormous power, and he cannot resist looking into the mystery. Everett learns he is a Bridge Master: a witch capable of passing into different spirit realms, but his revelation comes with a new set of problems. First, the powerful witch instructing him disappears, and then he notices something strange about his attractive new friend from the martial arts studio. Worst of all, Everett's reserves of spell-casting energy continue to deplete. Only one thing is certain-Everett cannot turn his back on this puzzle until he gets some answers.

In this “Bridges” picture book Tasha Paley introduces children to the concept that a bridge can connect any two things, whether real or imagined. It can even connect people to one another as they share feelings. In her usual whimsical way, she explores many different kinds of bridges and encourages children to use their imagination and artisitic abilities to create bridges never before conceived of!
