Immigrant Kids -- Russell Freedman

America meant freedom to the immigrants of the early 1900s--but a freedom very different from what they expected. Cities were crowded and jobs were scare. Children had to work selling newspapers, delivering goods, and laboring sweatshops. In this touching book, Newberry Medalist Russell Freedman offers a rare glimpse of what it meant to be a young newcomer to America.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Russell Freedman<br><b>Publisher:</b> Pearson Scott Foresman<br><b>Published:</b> 08/01/1995<br><b>Pages:</b> 80<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.80h x 7.60w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780140375947<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6.9<br><b>Point Value:</b> 1<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>25971 / Immigrant Kids<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Russell Freedman is the author of over thirty-five nonfiction books.
