I really enjoyed this book, lots of action, strong female characters and it held your attention.

From the eyes of three young girls in the disastrous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, two died tragically, but one survived. As Ms. Livingston told Harriet the story of long ago, the times of dreams or success, wealth, and happiness in America. Long ago, a girl named Bella had immigrated from Calia, Italy, She came with the dream of providing enough food for her family, struggling to live in the rural village back in Italy. As Bella arrives at Ellis Island in New York, the family that was supposed to care for her were sent back to Italy. Luckily, her cousin Pietro was already in America and took care of her. She immediately fell in love with him (which is quite strange because normally you wouldn't fall in love with a family member) They live in one of the tight tenement buildings in New York which are owned by the Luciano family. The Lucianos do not treat Bella and Pietro well, but Signora Luciano's son Rocco is very kind to Bella. (He falls in love with her later on). As Bella got a job at the Triangle, she met a girl named Yetta who was on strike because of unfair wages. They had made the uprising. However, Bella continued to work during the strike until she got horrible news. Her family had died in Calia from the lack of food. She felt heartbroken and so lonely because Pietro was gone, she had no family, and she recently found out that the Luciano's had been stealing her money with greed. She was so mad that she ran away and decided to live in a different tenement with Yetta and her older sister Rahel. Meanwhile, in the rich society of New York, Jane Wellington is having dreams of going to college, women's suffrage, and love from her father. Unfortunately, her father does not have the time to care for her, and her mother had died when she was born. She soon runs away with dreams to help the poor girls who work under horrible conditions and raise awareness for them. She comes to live with Yetta and Bella in the tenement, and they all worked together to survive. Later on, the three girls were at the factory, but someone had dropped a cigarette and the building soon went into flames. Bella had managed to escape safely, but Yetta had died to jump off the window, and Jane had burned herself to death in the building. All of the victims now were honored for their hard work and are forever remembered. I give this a 5 out of 5 and recommend this beautiful historical fiction based story by Haddix which truly happened at the Asch Building in New York City.

The second book in the Savvy series, Ingrid mixes old and beloved characters up with fresh, new ones. Ledger Kale, our Savvy star in Scumble, dreams that he'll be fast. Not just run-around-the-block-in-five-minutes fast, but run-around-the-WORLD-in-five-seconds fast. Or at least, that's what his dad wants. But instead of the supersonic speed Savvy Ledge has been fantasizing he'll get on his thirteenth birthday, he can wreck ANYTHING man-made. He's a human sledgehammer. To make matters worse, his family decides to attend a family wedding in Wyoming. He ends up staying in Wyoming in hopes that he'll learn to Scumble his Savvy before the summer ends. With Grandma Dollop's special peanut butter jar stolen, a nosy reporter named Sarah Jane snooping around and coming dangerously close to discovering well-kept family secrets, a busted up motorcycle, and screws flying, what could go wrong? I really loved Scumble; it was a page-turner. With no shortage of messes and magic, it really packs a punch of charm and kept me glued to the pages, unable to look away, as if Sarah Jane had written it herself. I recommend this to all fans of the first Savvy book, this one is even better than the first!

Halley Harper is a walking disaster. Sure, she is full of science brain and fun ideas, but that's where it all goes wrong. Like how she nearly destroyed an oven cooking s'mores. And how her "monster toothpaste" experiment spewed green gunk all over her friend Gracelyn. And how the Monster toothpaste got in her hair and she ended up with a crazy new hairdo. One letter arrives soon: her favorite science magazine has asked her to interview a teacher at her beloved Camp Eureka! Halley BELIEVES this will be the time of her life--but not so much. Who's the girl with color-tipped hair who keeps trying to keep her apart from Gracelyn? Who is the crazy new roommate who talks nonstop? And why, oh, why is the camp magician sneaking around at night with a ripped-out page from her diary? This book is a perfect fit for every kid who has a science tornado inside of him or her that has to be let out. Extra plus for the science experiment instructions in the back of the book!Love this.

this book looks cool and i want to read it.i read the other ones and they were good and well written. Lincoln Pierce is a good author.

This is a pretty descent book. It has all you need to know about the Incredibles 2 movie. I recommend to read this AFTER you watch the movie because it has many spoilers (but this review doesn't). I recommend this book.

I have not read it yet I have it but i am not reading it yet it's about a guy named charlie and a person named armstong and they don't want to go to school
