The Bridge by Jane Higgins

Set in the future, where a city is divided and each side is at war with the other. The demarcation line is the river, and gated bridges link the two sides.
Nik is from Cityside. A bomb explodes at his school and two of his friends are killed. The situation becomes desperate and dangerous as Nik tries to help Fyffe and her 8 year old brother Sol return to their family.When the boy gets kidnapped, Nik and Fyffe cross the bridge to Southside to get him back. In the process Nik learns more about himself than he expected.

It is a story of conflict, friendship, loyalty and the impact of war. And it is also Nik's search for truth.
