Samantha teaches Nelly to help her catch up in school. In the end, Samantha is the one who learns the biggest lesson. When she writes an essay on the wonders of factories, Nelly tells her the true story of factories, and Samantha changes her essay.

A review by Blake and Ashlyn: Very educational tells a lot about growing up in 1904. I think there was a lot about secrecy and very very very interesting. Really good story line, the author really really put their hearts into making these books. I would recommend this to all American Girl lovers.
