| 520 | |a Twelve-year-old Grace Forcier and her friend Arthur are forced to suspend their educations to doff bobbins for their mothers' frames in the spinning room in the local mill. The children are not happy about this prospect and try to come up with plans that will get them out of working. A photographer comes to document the conditions at the mill, and Grace sees a way out of the difficult, forced labor. Arthur, however, cannot get out of the mill fast enough and intentionally injures himself so he can go back to school. Grace continues to fight in her own way and eventually finds a way out. | ||
| 520 | |a Wanting desperately to help her mother with her job at the mill, twelve-year-old Grace does her best to produce work that will bring in the money her family needs, yet when Grace and her brother write a secret letter to the Child Labor Board describing their working conditions, everything changes for the better when a concerned reporter shows up to get the story. | ||
