Last in the American Girl series about Rebecca Rubin. Rebecca becomes a spokesperson for unionization of garment workers.
This book treats seriously the idea of unfair working conditions in factories and about speaking up for fairness.
At first when I started to read this book, I thought that she and her cousin Ana would get into a fight, but then I found out that they didn't. I read this book on the trip to NE I read most of it at the motel. But then read the rest of it in the van on the way home. I really enjoyed reading it.
Good message and fun to read.
