LYDDIE is an excellent little book--182 pages--which is very readable and well suited for use in a middle school to let adolescents appreciate an important part of American social history,some aspects of which are, unfortunately, not absent from our society even today. The attitude that resulted in the treatment of factory workers in Lyddie's lifetime is clearly present in our own times in the twenty-first century when today's workers experience poverty despite their spending long hours working for low wages. This novel LYDDIE was written very well and includes words and expressions that an intelligent child should learn to understand. The story is captivating and makes kids (and adults!) want to continue reading and also crave to find out "what happened next!" once they regretfully reach the last paragraph!

I bought this book for my 10-yr. old daughter because I wanted her to read some historical fiction where she could see how real people lived in America in the 1800's. I thought that she would like the book, but she loved it, and I found myself reading it, too, just to see what it was about. I fell in love with it, too. The characters are real full of problems and small joys. Lyddie leads a hard life that only someone from last century could have experienced, yet the author brings it to life so that kids today can understand and relate to what she went through. I really loved the small historical details, like the discrimination against Quakers in 1840 New England, like the damage to a worker's lungs from the lint in the air of a textile mill, and like the sleeping conditions within a girls' boarding house. We will be reading more of this author's works, and I recommend all to join us.
I read this book to prepare for a class I was teaching about 1800s farming techniques. This is a very interesting book, filled with lots of history.
Loved this story. My daughter's 7th grade class is reading so I ordered this book and it is now working it's way through most of my co-workers as well. Very well written.
My granddaughter liked this and read it really fast. Good historical fiction.
This is a wonderful book to introduce young people today to "how it was" in an earlier time. Katherine Paterson brings a young girl to life who is determined, smart, and who has a steadfast work ethic. You want to cry when she is separated from her family to work, and at the same time admire her and laugh with joy at her ability to defend herself and continue to hope for her family to be together again. My Grandma was a weaver back in the early 1900's, and I read a chapter of this to her each week. She loved it, too. It's a book I've given to all of my nieces, as well.
I am teaching Lyddie for the first time this year. It is part of the NYS common core curriculum, and I am reading it to 7th grade boys - the best review I can give it is they were enthralled as I read the first chapter to them! I read the whole book and I loved it! It's a captivating story that keeps you wondering throughout if she will ever get her family back together.
I read so many books as a kid but this one stood out. The story is interesting but also sad as it paints a picture of what children did to keep a family going. I recently got it for my preteen daughter who is struggling with adolescence. The story helped me find my own strength when I was her age and I'm hoping it does the same for her.
