I have been getting these books for my classroom, but I've only read one of them before this one. They are very good and it is interesting how historical fact is incorporated into these fictional stories. They are written for middle schoolers but they are very attractive to adults as well. My Mom enjoys reading them too! :-P I've been able to take elements from the ones I've read and use them to enhance my lessons by relaying parts of the story. I also like the fact I can read them rather quickly. :-P This particular one was about an Irish Mill girl in 1847 and how workers in the mills were not treated well and the discrimination the Irish faced in the 1840s.
