Beautifully written, though a very sad story. This was a beautiful story of a girl who worked at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory right before the fire in 1911. It was compelling and hard to put down, though I did not like it as much as "Uprising" by Margaret Peterson Haddix. However, it was well worth reading.
