The story, Two Brothers From Italy, by Mary Allen, takes place in 1908 on a ship and at Ellis Island. It is about two brothers named Luigi and Rico who immigrate from Italy to the United States. In the beginning of the story, the brothers board a ship in order to join their father in America. While on the ship, the conditions were poor because it was cramped and people got sick.When they finally arrived at Ellis Island, they had to be examined to make sure they were healthy. If they were not healthy, they could be sent back to Italy. We can't tell you how the story ends because it will spoil it for you!
There are several reasons why we would recommend this book. First of all, it takes place in 1908 in June. Many people like to read historical fiction and learn what it was like in the past. An additional reason why people might want read this book is because some people want to know how it was to be immigrants. For example, they might want to know what it was like going through Ellis Island. Finally, many people will enjoy this book because the author does a good job developing the characters. All in all, we would definitely recommend this book.
