Description
Kevin O'Donnell may be poor right now, but he's not going to stay that way for long-not if he has anything to do with it. With his father unable to work and a little sister to support, Kevin needs to find work, any work. But jobs aren't easy to come by in New York during 1881, especially for a twelve-year-old immigrant boy. So Kevin finds himself scrambling, desperately seeking ways to make a few dollars here and there. And he begins cutting a few corners. When he's discovered "borrowing" and reselling newspapers, he knows he's in for it-the workhouse, or maybe even jail. That's why he's shocked with the elegant man who caught him offers him his dream job; a job on the man's newspaper.
