This book is about a girl named Lyddie who lived alone after she lost her parents. She goes to work in Lowell for a job to get enough money to reunite with her family. She works hard and tries to learn new skills such as reading to achieve her goals. She makes many friends along the way, but there are many problems with her job which causes problems in the community. Lyddie has a personal conflict about whether she should speak up and possibly lose her job or stay quiet and have detrimental health effects.
This book was very good. I enjoyed the immense detail and suspense that the author incorporated in the book. The characters are very complex with many different traits at different times. Lastly, this book is not boring as the reader is always on the edge of their seat wondering what will happen next. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books that are detailed.
