Bookroo's summary

Rebecca's world shifts when a playful movie project reveals the grim reality of factory life. Horrified by the conditions her cousin Ana's family endures, Rebecca is determined to fight for change. But with her family unaware of her plans, can she navigate the dangers of activism and make a difference without losing everything?

From the publisher

“Let’s make a movie!” Rebecca thinks this is a grand idea, but when her gentle cousin Ana plays the role of a cruel factory boss, the fun turns sour. Once Rebecca learns the truth about factories, though, she begins to see why Ana acted so mean. A few days later, Rebecca visits the factory where Ana’s brother and father work, and she’s horrified. How can anyone work in such conditions? Is this the life that’s in store for Ana? But as awful as the factory is, Tasha knows that Ana’s father and brother desperately need their jobs. There’s got to be a way to make things better at the factory–and Rebecca is determined to do her part, even if it means marching straight into danger.
