Breaker

Rating:
Summary: As used in an Industrial Revolution Thematic Unit
Review: I taught this book as part of a cirriculum unit on the Industrial Revolution. It's a really grim topic, and the book manages to not be over-done in that way. It is descriptive with regards to the actual work and working conditions of breaker boys, as well as having a solid plot and well-developed characters.
