Well-written historical story for middle school

Would you listen to Uprising again? Why?

For students who like to have history come alive, this book is worth reading (listening to.) It's a fictionalized account of events leading up to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911. It also brings to life social issues of the day: workers' rights, factory conditions, immigrants' lives, social class differences, women's rights.

A very thought provoking story.

Bella, Yetta and Jane, Bella Yetta and Jane. Three unlikely allies with different paths yet destined to change our future. What if the shirt waste strike and fire hadn't happened? I wonder.

A Must Read!

This book was recommended to me by a friend and, as a high school world history teacher, let me just say that this book is fabulous. It is such a beautiful convergence of gender & socioeconomic issues, while also addressing immigration and workers rights problems of the period. The characters are realistic and endearing and the history is accurate and engaging. Definitely worth your time!

Historically accurate

This book is wonderfully written. The historical aspects are weaved in so well that the entire thing seems to be nonfiction.
The 3 characters give the various perspectives of the time period. The book brings it all to life and you get to time travel and experience it.
I read an excerpt to my 7th graders and had to find copies of the whole novel because they wanted to read more. I too wanted to read the entire story.
I’m glad I did! Awesome book!
