Great book!
Came in great condition. Excellent book. Reading to my 8th grade students along with our unit on immigration - fantastic!
Touching story!
I visited Ellis Island, which is where I picked up this treasure. As you read, you feel a part of this young girl's life, including the struggles while immigrating and the joys in creating a new life in America. My grandparents immigrated to the US and are now unable to tell me about their experience. I was touched by this book because I could imagine what my grandparents' experience was like via the story of Marisia. The author used sources from Ellis Island and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, so the images are accurate and detailed. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys learning about the past and understanding the plights of other cultures and people in the world. A real treasure!
