Welcome to Litsy!

I read this one for my school‘s #BattleOfTheBooks . It was fine. Nothing special. I didn‘t really understand most of the MC‘s decisions. I. Never really got into this. I read this book because the MC is a newsie, and Newsies is one of my all time favorite musicals, but there was hardly any. newsie-ing. There were maybe 3 paper hawking scenes and they all had the exact same dialogue. 3⭐️

This was a really good book. Had a hard time putting it down. Very well written, and I loved the characters.

#bookmail I have always loved AVI books. I have read most of his stuff from my childhood but none of his newer stuff. I am thinking of making next year an Avi reading challenge year. The only bad thing. The author isn't very nice. I've met him a few times, and lived a few blocks from him years ago. He was never pleasant. It was just so odd for the man that set my childhood imagination on fire. I memories died a little bit the first time.

I read this with a group of Homeschool students learning about child labor. I thought it was a well written book, quick to read and a lot to discuss. I also love Avi. Definitely recommend for school age but even enjoyed myself. (Any other Homeschoolers out there?)
