Many of you may know Margaret Peterson Haddix through her suspense series (Shadow Children). In The Uprising, she focuses on something very different - the tragedy of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Her flair for suspense is evident, and there are some surprising twists, but this book is most notable for the way in which the author brings to life this crucial moment in American history. You will hope, cry, dream and despair with Bella and Yetta and Jane - the three voices through which Ms. Haddix tells her tale. A moving and involving story.
