Rating:  - I learned so much
My nine year old daughter read this book for a book test that she had to take at school and fell in love with it. But the title is ...If Your Name Was Changed at Ellis Island and there is only two pages out of 80 that mention about that. But a wonderful book. I recommend ages 7-12 to read this book. I hope my review helped you. One more thing if your child or children don't read long books don't get it because it is 80 pgs. It took my daughter only two days though. I hope you enjoy it.

Rating: - Terrific Book!
This is a very concise and informational book about immigration in the early 20th Century. I learned a lot from this book and suspect my students will too.
