This book was boring and not what I expected. If you are interested in N. Idaho coal mining in the early 1900's this is for you. Written for middle school level readers.

I gave the book five stars because it has a good story and combines a story with real facts. It taught me a lot about mining and I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next because it was so exciting. My favorite part was when they tried to break out of jail.

This book was hard to put down. It was a very interesting story. I felt like I really got to know the characters, and was captivated by the unfolding of events. Anyone who has ever been a teenager can identify with Mick as he struggles against the world that he finds himself in. I enjoyed watching him learn and grow from the challenges he faces as comes to the grips with the realities of entering adulthood.

I learned a lot of history from this book, as well as gaining some insights on humanity. It is definitely worth reading.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I read it from start to finish in one night because I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen to Mick and his family. Not only did the author do an excellent job of researching the history and material for the story, but she really drew me into the emotion the main character was feeling. For example, she doesn't just say he was angry, she describes the emotional and physical event to a point that you can completely relate and feel and understand his anger.
