I've never been a real big fan of history but, when I started to read this series in 3rd grade the book made me sad and feel as if I was in the story. It made me feel so many emotions and I started to read this series 3 years later- [now] -and I just can't stop reading them. I had just finished this book before we started to watch the Superbowl. I cried out when the book ended 'cause I loved it so much~! This one is about a girl who lives in Ireland. Her Aunt went to America one day and said she would bring the girl with her at one point. The way her Aunt described American made the girl ever so excited. In Ireland food was getting scarce and people were getting sick and such. When the girl [years later] was leaving for the boat she wished her parents a sad goodbye and got on the boat to set off for America. On the boat, it took such a long time to get to America. Sadly, some tragic things happened. It was alright though. In America, the girl lived with her Aunt and had much better living conditions. She also made some friends. But work was a bit harsh. Some more tragic things happen. In the end, the girl left for important reasons and it was ever so sad. It was a great book though and I highly suggest that you read. Also, you would probably like it if you like history and such.

The book talks about a girl during the Great Famine in Ireland. She went to America so she can have food, a job, and a better life even though she doesn't get paid a lot.
