Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix


In Uprising, it is about three girls named Bella, Yetta and Jane. Bella moved from Italy to America to help her family and Yetta moved from Russia to America to also help her family out. The girls dont meet each other until the middle of the book, but when they do they instintly become friends. Towards the end of the book, Jane runs away from home and finds Bella and Yetta and she moves in with them. One day a horrible fire starts at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory where Bella and Yetta work, and Jane is there bringing two girls that she watches to their father. Almost everyone that was in that building died except for Bella and a few other lucky people. This is an amazing book that teaches you about the history of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and lessons in life.
