This is a fab read!
I picked this book when I started tracing my family history and wanted to learn about what life would have been like for a child in the mill industry at that time.
Incredible the way it is written and a nice quick read that you won't want to put it down!
For children it will give them a slice of history in a way that makes it easily understandible for them. Both my parents have also read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it!
when you have read this you will want to read the series. There is a series for girls and also a boys series.

eliza helsted is shocked when she has too work at manchester cotton mill, were it is suffocating and dangerous, in her diary she vivadly describes the horrors of mills, the unjustice, the cruelty and the danger.
I really liked this book, I felt really bad for Eliza, because she had to leave school to work at the mill, but I liked when she moved to the country, It really shows the differance of the city and the country and how they treated people.
I enjoyed this book immencly and would reccomend it to anyone (anyone around 10), it finished on a happy note, which was good, and it was historically accurate.
