Hi readers, here's another book in the My Story series.
My Story: Mill Girl A Victorian girl's diary 1842-1843 is written by Sue Reid. Eliza is shocked when she is sent to work in a cotton mill. The work is back breaking and dangerous and as she sees her friends lives wrecked by poverty Eliza realizes she has to fight to escape the fate of a mill girl.
I loved how this book showed the conditions that many children worked in during the Industrial Revolution. The age I would recommend is 11+.
I hope you will read this book,
Book Worm :)
