Summary:
In 1903 eight-year-old Aidan, who dreams of going to school instead of working in a cotton mill, finds inspiration in
Mother
Jones
, a labor activist who plans to protest unfair child labor laws by marching from Kensington, Pennsylvania, to
Oyster
Bay
, New York.
Though eight-year-old Aidan and his friend Gussie want to go to school, like many other
children
in 1903, they work twelve hours, six days a week, at a cotton mill in Pennsylvania instead. So when the millworkers decide to go on strike, the two friends join the picket line. Maybe now life will change for them. But when a famous labor reformer named
Mother
Jones
comes to hear of the millworkers demands, she tells them they need to do more than just strike. Troubled by all she had seen,
Mother
Jones
wanted to end child labor. But what could she do? Why, organize a
children
's
march
and bring the message right to President Theodore Roosevelt at his summer home in
Oyster
Bay
, of course!
