(4) YA Haddix depicts the early-twentieth-century labor struggle through the eyes of three girls from very different backgrounds whose lives intersect at New York's infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. The story culminates in the tragic factory fire that claimed the lives of hundreds of workers. The action is compelling despite an absence of language barriers that stretches credulity. An author's note is appended.
