Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Rebecca thinks it's a grand idea to make a movie with her cousin Ana, but when gentle Ana plays the role of a cruel factory boss, the fun turns sour. Later Rebecca goes to the factory where Ana's brother and father work, and she's horrified at the terrible conditions - but she knows the workers desperately need their jobs. There's got to be a way to make things better at the factory, and Rebecca is determined to do her part - even if it means marching straight into danger. Includes an illustrated historical "Looking Back" essay.
At head of title: 1914.
Ten-year-old Rebecca Rubin is injured during a strike at the sweatshop where her uncle and cousin work when she tries to give a speech, while keeping a big secret from her family.
Ages 8 and up.
