(4) 4-6 Chicago is about to be engulfed by the Great Fire of 1871. After befriending Justin, a jeweler's son, orphan (and pickpocket) Poppy finds herself caught not only in the fire's path but also between two families with very different motives. Though the voices don't always ring true, Harlow's shifting perspective between Poppy and Justin helps illuminate diverse experiences and consequences of the disaster.
