Counting on Grace by Elizabeth Winthrop

Twelve-year-old Grace does her best working at the mill to bring in more money for her family, and when Grace writes a secret letter to the Child Labor Board describing her working conditions, things change when a concerned reporter shows up to get the story.

    This book was okay. [Is it just me or do the books this year all seem a little dry, like this one?]
    The characters were semi-believable. I did like how they described the taste of cotton. That was pleasant.

    i thought that counting on grace wasn't bad, although it did get just a bit boring every once in a while. it was pretty good.
