Mollie Carberry is a suffragette! Well, sort of. Mollie and her best friend Nora have been bravely fighting for women's rights - even though no one else really knows about it. But when they hear a big protest is being planned, they know they have to take part. If only they didn't have to worry about Nora's terrible cousin, her awful brother and her neighbour's very annoying dog ... An engaging story about a strong and intelligent girl fighting for the right for women to vote.Anna Carey's first historical book is written in a way that will help young readers understand what was going on in Dublin in 1914, as well as give an insight into the bravery of Irish women at the time. But it is not just about the major events occurring at the time; while the Making of Mollie is exciting, fact-accurate and dramatic, Anna's inclusion of normal everyday life - sibling fights, worried friends, and disapproving classmates - really helps to bring the novel to life -- Mummypages.ie Suffragettes rule! A girl's eye view of early feminism ... this shows just what the suffragettes were up against, as well as how exciting it is to be part of a political movement. It's told through letters Mollie sends to a friend, and this makes it both immediate and vivid, with the impulsive, daring Mollie a very appealing narrator. Lovereading4kids.co.uk beautifully written -- CBI Recommended Reads 2016 The Making of Mollie is an easy, enjoyable and important read. Wonderful characters that ring true with strong voices, it crafts a story that is pertinent and interesting. Filled with historical facts, the perspective of the tale gives a unique view, not only of the suffragette movement in Ireland, but of the surrounding society.
