Stitched Up is the heartwarming and fashion-forward novel from
author and journalist Jo O'Connell, perfect for younger fans of
Geek Girl and Ellie McNicoll. Cassie has always had a passion for
fashion — she loves finding quirky vintage looks from history.
But when she starts Silverdale High School and becomes fast friends
with label-obsessed Azra, she quickly realises that to fit in,
she'll have to worry about what people are wearing now, not in
Tudor England. So when she, Az and eco-warrior Fern are drafted to
redesign the school uniform, Cassie's caught between her real love
of fashion and keeping up appearances. When Cassie's neighbour
introduces her to The Knitwits, a local knitting group who are
coming apart at the seams, Cassie finally starts to feel like she
can be herself with people who accept her as she is and whips them
into shape to take their designs to the next level. But with the
design competiton at school heating up, Cassie soon finds herself
living two lives and Azra is starting to ask questions. Can she
keep her new love a secret when she wants to shout about it from
the rooftops?

The fire at the Triangle Waist Company in New York City, which
claimed the lives of 146 young immigrant workers, is one of the
worst disasters since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution,
and the disaster, which brought attention to the labor movement in
America, is part of the curriculum in classrooms throughout the
country.
Told from alternating points of view, this historical novel draws
upon the experiences of three very different young women: Bella,
who has just emigrated from Italy and doesn't speak a word of
English; Yetta, a Russian immigrant and crusader for labor rights;
and Jane, the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Bella and Yetta
work together at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory under terrible
conditions--their pay is docked for even the slightest mistake, the
bosses turn the clocks back so closing time is delayed, and they
are locked into the factory all day, only to be frisked before they
leave at night to make sure they haven't stolen any shirtwaists.
When the situation worsens, Yetta leads the factory's effort to
strike, and she meets Jane on the picket line. Jane, who feels
trapped by the limits of her own sheltered existence, joins a group
of high-society women who have taken an interest in the strike as a
way of supporting women's suffrage. Through a series of twists and
turns, the three girls become fast friends--and all of them are in
the Triangle Shirtwast Factory on March 25, 1911, the day of the
fateful fire. In a novel that puts a human face on the tragedy,
Margaret Peterson Haddix has created a sweeping, forceful tale that
will have readers guessing until the last page who--if
anyone--survives.
