Created in 1906 to expose the various horrors of the Chicago meatpacking industry as well as the multi-faceted atrocities faced by immigrants and working-class people in industrialized cities. This famous muckraking novel was so shocking that it was a deciding factor in the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. The story follows a Lithuanian immigrant named Jurgis Rudkus, as well as his family and friends, as they struggle to stay afloat amid the dangers in Chicago's Packingtown. This book isn't for the faint of heart but is a good read that will have you thinking and will spur many questions about the era.

This book was very fun! I recommend this book for all young readers. This book was mainly about Lina. She desperately wanted to be a messenger, but she got the job of pipeworks instead. She and Doon trade! Why was this? Because the generator room was there! Doon knew ways to fix it. Later the story gets a lot more interesting!

was okay not that reccommendable

The People of Sparks, the second book in the Ember series, was even better than the last. The tension between the people of Sparks and the Emberites made the book a very compelling one. This book touches upon the enduring issue of conflicT. The way Lina and Doon solved the problem between the people of Sparks and the Emberites was genius! This book has definitely convinced me to read more books written by this author.

When Raina goes on a one-week long car trip with her family for a whole three weeks, things get crazy. A snake in the van, not much fun with her cousins, the car breaking down, and the heat, it doesn't go well till the end... An exciting story of a crazy car trip.
