What Readers and Critics are Saying:

IBPA Ben Franklin Award Winner- ★★★★★- "Like Radium Girls and other books that detail how many died before safe labor practices were adopted, this book is a strong addition to historical fiction of this type. Girl In The Triangle presents the reader with a lot to think about: how do we decide about gender and the right attitudes toward gender disputes? How do we "become" Americans? How do we keep traditions alive? How do we ensure immigrants are treated fairly? All these questions make Girl In The Triangle an excellent historical fiction novel and choice for book groups and schools." - IBPA Ben Franklin Award Judge Feedback
