Miss Spitfire : reaching Helen Keller by Sarah Miller - wet about the time Bly was working
At age twenty-one, partially-blind, lonely but spirited Annie Sullivan travels from Massachusetts to Alabama to try and teach six-year-old Helen Keller, deaf and blind since age two, self-discipline and communication skills. Includes historical notes and timeline.

Uprising Margaret by Peterson Haddix - set around the time of Nellie Bly's death, but about social reform
In 1927, at the urging of twenty-one-year-old Harriet, Mrs. Livingston reluctantly recalls her experiences at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory, including miserable working conditions that led to a strike, then the fire that took the lives of her two best friends, when Harriet, the boss's daughter, was only five years old. Includes historical notes.

Bread and Roses - Katherine Paterson
Twelve-year-old Rosa and thirteen-year-old Jake form an unlikely friendship as they try to survive and understand the 1912 Bread and Roses strike of mill workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Nellie Bly


Who can think of a historical fiction novel that would somehow fit the same time period as Nellie Bly and the muckrackers? I have a student doing a history fair project and has to read a fiction book that ties with Nellie Bly. Approriate for a 5th grader.

Thanks,

Amy
