Readers who will like this: Readers who are into books related to historical events and have great adventure.

Response/Rating: 4; I enjoyed the story and how it related to the riots that happened but made it more relatable to children. Plus I LOVED the illustrations and the borders of them.

Question: Does anyone know what a riot is and why people would do such a thing?
