For strong independent readers age 8+, or as a read-aloud for younger readers
In her little corner of New York City, Lizzie shares a single room in Mrs. Kelly’s boarding house with her two younger brothers and their Da. It’s not much, but it’s home. And most importantly, they have each other. But Gilded Age New York, an uncertain place marked by incredible wealth and terrible poverty, forces Lizzie and her family to go their separate ways. As Lizzie learns how to be a maid in a grand house, she never loses sight of what matters most: bringing the family back together.
