As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society’s biggest events: the Schuylers’ grand ball. Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country’s founding families, and even prouder still of their three daughters—Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival those of both her sisters, though she’d rather be aiding the colonists’ cause than dressing up for some silly ball.

| Audacity by Melanie CrowderHistorical Novel in Verse. After surviving pogroms and a long, difficult journey, Russian-Jewish immigrant Clara Lemlich arrives in New York City in the early 1900s, where her hope for a better life is swiftly replaced by the reality of crowded tenements and hazardous sweatshop work. Refusing to accept these conditions, Clara bravely defies her father, her bosses, and the odds by educating herself and organizing a labor union, so that the girls and women she works with can demand their rights. Written in page-turning poetry and inspired by a true story, Audacity is a "compelling, powerful and unforgettable" (Kirkus Reviews) tale. |

Though it's a slim read with an intensifying pace, this dystopian story will leave you thinking long after the final page. |
