This was a biography of Ida Tarbell. She was an investigative reporter who wrote about Standard Oil and other big business in the early `1900s. I found the beginning of the book better than the middle and ending. It was a solid biography and the author did a lot of research...it just didn't read in a very interesting way and I think my students (grades 1 - 5) would not be interested. Honestly it is not designed for them anyway.
