This is a reread of an old favorite, but every time I read it, I forget how good this book is.

Margaret Peterson Haddix knows how to pull on my heart strings. This book is about immigration, and worker's rights, and women's rights, and friendship. Bella and Yetta and Jane feel real, feel like girls I could know today, and it's exactly why this book hits so hard.

I love this book so much, and I do cry, every time.
