Fiction - 5 stars - If you love getting a glimpse of life in a certain era, this is the book for you. It is the story of a poor, young girl growing up in Brooklyn in the 1910s. It gives vivid images of poor kids scrounging for penny candy and food, of schools and politics in that time period, and of family life for first and second generation Americans. My only complaint is that I wanted to read more when the book ended. It was a really good book.
