The men who work in the mills work as hard as the machines that make the steel, never stopping. But when the men go home at night, a different side of Steel Town emerges -- one filled with music and neighbors, pierogies and spaghetti, churches and front porches. \u003cbr\u003e This gritty yet poetic world is brought to life through Jonah Winter's lyrical, rhythmic text and Terry Widener's luscious, nocturnal illustrations, whose massive figures glow with the few lights that shine through this darkness. This is a portrait of an imaginary town derived from the very real American steel towns of the 1930s, when the sky was often black as night all day and the cavernous mills belched out fire and smoke. Here is a journey to a town that time has not forgotten, just misplaced: Steel Town.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonah Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1416940812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416940814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.13h x 9.36w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e122854 \/ Steel Town\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Awards (Spring) (2008-Up) - Silver Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2008 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 502\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2008 pg. 436\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2008 pg. 501 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2008 pg. 321 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2008 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2008 pg. 321 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Jonah Winter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072938078463,"sku":"9781416940814","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2589ec60-3027-447e-957d-0107d8505938.jpg?v=1685444832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/steel-town-jonah-winter-9781416940814","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
