(4) 4-6 Historical Fiction Adventures series. The struggle to unionize early-twentieth-century factories is portrayed in this story of a Jewish immigrant family determined to make ends meet. Eleven-year-old Galena and older sister Anya work in deplorable, dangerous conditions. The period's political viewpoints are presented through Galena's perspective, a conceit that doesn't always sound natural. "The Real History Behind the Story" is appended. Reading list, websites.
