A nice little read, this book is crafted around an important part of history. The SS Great Britain was the first-ever iron ship and was designed by Victorian engineer Brunel. The distinction between first class passengers and those in steerage are explored as well as the social divide in Britain at the time. Emily discovers the hardship that the workers in her grandfather’s cotton mill must endure. This book is a bit harder than a first chapter book but will suit confident readers. ( )
