The Journal of Finn Reardon: A Newsie

(4) 4-6 My Name Is America series. Finn Reardon, an Irish-American living in New York City in 1899, attends sixth grade, works as a newsboy each evening, and dreams of becoming a reporter. Bartoletti gives her reader a great deal of historical information in a novel that is more about a time period than about a character. An afterword explains which elements of the story, such as the newsboys' strike of 1899, are based on historical fact.
