Summary: Land of Hope (Its Grate!!!)
Review: This was a really good book! It tells about how jewish, scottish, and all other types of peoples come i mean came from other countries to America. A girl named Rebeka Levinsky is the main character in the book. Her family is all admited to the United States except her grandfather who later dies in Russia. She meats new people and finally gets the education she has wnated for so long. Over all i give it 5 stars(like 4.6 or somethin like that). Sorry for all the typoes, I am tryin to work on my typin for school. Odoyle Rules! my email is [e-mail] if u got any questions.

Summary: Realistic portrayal of life 100 years ago!
Review: What a realistic beautiful portrayal of life 100 years ago! The struggle of the immigrants to make it in the States is realistically portrayed. I actually felt like I was there in that awful-smelling steerage hold & the scariness of the storm. I thought it was interesting & neat that three girls from three different countries & religions form a strong bond. Ellis Island was really accurate too; I especially loved the scene where the immigrants see Ms. Liberty (I personally think she's the most beautiful statue in the world!). But what was really true-to-life was the struggle once the Levinskys get to the States & the portrayal of the sweatshop they're forced to work in seven days a week. The descriptions were so vivid that I could actually feel the heat & grime of the garment sweatshop as well as visualize the rampant poverty & noisiness of the Lower East Side of New York. It made me think of how we've come a long ways since, but still have a ways to go. A great historical read for history buffs!
