This is another book that I read that is for Battle of the Books and it is so good. It is historical fiction and the author created the main character, Grace, after seeing the picture that is on the front cover of the book. The picture, it turns out, is of a little girl whose real name was Addie and she worked in the mills from the age of eight. I felt like the book started out kind of slowly, but I am glad I stuck with it. It was a good story and even more interesting once you find out the history that inspired the story.
