Dreams In The Golden Country: the Diary of Zipporah Feldman, a Jewish Immigrant Girl, New York City, 1903 by Kathryn Lasky

4.0

I would have loved to meet Zipporah, she's such an engaging character! I love her about-face from being (understandably) disgusted by America, to loving it for the dreams it engenders and embraces. Truly there are some heartbreaking moments, some of which seemed unnecessary to the narrative. It's really short, and certain details are left out, which is why I reduced a star - what happened to Blu's family and the Sheehans?

I recommend to fans of the series, as well as to readers looking for a light read of New York Immigrants in the early 20th century. It offers an engaging glimpse into the time, if it is a bit superficial.
