The Great Chicago Fire: Rising from the Ashes by Kate Hannigan

3.0

I'm a grown woman and didn't know a lot about this topic, so I think middle grader readers will find it really intriguing. The pacing threw me off at a few times but overall, an interesting read. I liked how the myths were dispelled, as well as going into anti-immigrant sentiments. (As a fan of world's fair histories, the glimpse at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago at the end had me especially interested!)
