Reviews
Grade 7-9-Fleeing Poland, where Stefan, the oldest son, has deserted the Russian czar's army, the Bolinski family goes first to Rotterdam, and then boards a ship bound for America. Once they reach their destination, the youngest child is refused entry because she has tuberculosis. The girl and her parents return to Rotterdam while Stefan and his sister Marisia remain, experiencing life in New York City's Lower East Side. Raphael's style and plot development are smooth and engaging and the pacing is consistent. The characterization is competent, and there is adequate integration of historical material, enhanced by period-related photos. Streets of Gold provides useful insight into cultural diversity, U.S. immigration, and living conditions at the turn of the 20th century.
