I enjoy Tracie Peterson's books because of the rich historical details they include. The Bells of Lowell series is no exception. If someone has visited Lowell and studied the history of the mills and their labor movement, they will be able to appreciate and understand the historical context of the series even more.

The book is charming,with an enticing story and beautiful illustrations. I have a white, long-haired cat like Violet who behaves the same way, so the book was particularly delightful.
