Items related to Subway Story
Never was there a subway car who loved her job more than Jessie. From morning to night she carried all sorts of people all sorts of places—to work and school and World's Fairs, over bridges and through tunnels—sometimes she even took a pigeon along for the ride! But as time passed, sleek new silver cars began to take over the tracks, banishing Jessie to an abandoned lot. What will she do with no passengers to carry? And where will she go now that she's no longer welcome on the tracks?
Based on the true story of 1960's-era subway cars that are now being used to create artificial reefs in the Atlantic, this stunningly illustrated second book from Julia Sarcone-Roach is sure to delight scuba diving historians and kids alike.

Review:
Starred Review, The Horn Book Magazine
"Sarcone-Roach displays a discipline not always seen in books about the environment; she allows her theme of reuse and recycling to emerge naturally from a fine story and lets readers draw their own conclusions without adding a heavy-handed one of her own."
The New York Times Book Review:
"Sarcone-Roach guides us to Jessie's final destination with energy, style, and charm. Only a subway rider (as the author most definitely is) could have imagined this book, and given us such a sustained sense of wonder."--Pete Hamill
School Library Journal:
"A lovely tribute to the city and its boroughs."
Kirkus Reviews:
"With sprawling landscapes and vast underground tunnels as a backdrop, readers will cheer Jessie's story of revival. Immensely readable and surprisingly touching, this large heft of metal totes a lot of charm."
