I was too angry, Mother said. But she was wrong. If you weren't fuming, you just weren't paying attention.

When every day is a struggle to survive ...When the rich and powerful hold all the cards ...Do you accept the way things are? Or do you fight to change them?

Eliza is angry. Angry that her family never seems to have enough. Angry that conditions at the factory where she and her sister work are so harsh. Angry that no one seems to care.

When Eliza speaks out, her words spark fury among the rest of the workers and the flame of rebellion is lit. But what next? Can one girl really inspire an uprising that will change her world?

Written by Carnegie Medal winner Tanya Landman, this story brings to life the match girls' strike of 1888 and is perfect for less-confident readers.

Industry Reviews

`I absolutely recommend this book to school library collections, classrooms and for home bookshelves for readers of 11+. It is first and foremost a brilliantly written, enjoyable story which will inform and entertain all readers in equal measure. Additionally, it is so carefully constructed that it could re-ignite the spark of reading for pleasure which, sadly, the recent disruption to schooling has extinguished in some tweens and teens.' Bookshelves.home.blog `Another cracker of a book from Tanya Landman. It's so super-readable that I read it in an evening. Couldn't put it down.' 5* Amazon Review `Bought for a teen who wasn't finding anything she wanted to read. She read this in a week and really liked the text format. So much that her school are now looking into buying some of this range.' 5* Amazon Review
