A Bandit's Tale: The Muddled Misadventures of a Pickpocket
by Deborah Hopkinson
Great children's book about a charming little Italian boy trying to make his way in NYC in the late 1800s. This story covers the mistreatment of kids at that time, particularly immigrants, and teaches the lesson of honesty and hardwork. I read a lot of books that take place in this setting and there are always street kids in it but this takes a deeper look into their lives and how they get on the streets. I appreciated getting this new perspective!
