YA nonfiction, goes with common core.
Child labor. Working conditions. Immigrants. ( )

The plight of child laborers in North American cities in the early 1900s is told from the perspective of Emily, a young girl working in a garment factory. An interesting mix of fiction and nonfiction that makes the topic accessible to younger readers like those of American Girl books.

One of those books that is a non-fiction book acting like a fiction book. The information is very good, but the fiction story doesn't stand up as well as it could. ( )
