For someone, life as a newsie probably isn't the dream come true. The job is horribly paid, you work all day out in the sun and you have to deal with people not being so nice to you. Also, you have to put your mind to work when coming up with headlines because them newspaper folks can't come up with anything good half the time. Oh, and you have to share a run-down building with many boys. Simply said that life is not a paradise on Earth. But for Elizabeth Saunders that life was more than she could ever ask for. It was her best bet at a better life. Well, until some people decided to mess around with poor newsies and forced them to go on strike. How does Elizabeth cope with so many changes around her when she feels trapped in a web of iniquity? And how does she cope with her pestering feelings for one of the newsboys? Also what happens after the strike is over?

If you just sit and get to know them. Which is exactly what they did. But the outcome, is something neither of them expected.

[on hiatus] [under editing] "So what's next?" "Now you have to spread the word. Let the rest of the city's newsies know about the strike." "Ay you heard the man. Split up. Let's spread the word" "I'll take Harlem" "I got Midtown" "I got Bronx" "I'll take Bowery" "Tommy Boy, you take the East Side. And who wants Brooklyn or Queens?" "......" "Aw, come on! Brooklyn and Queens! Spot and [Your name]'s turfs?" ..... "Why is everyone so scared of Brooklyn and Queens?" ~~~~~ It was simple enough, everyone was scared of Queens because that was [Your name]'s turf. And she was most famous for making the Delanceys cry for their mommies. Yeah, if someone did so much as lay a finger on her newsies, let's just say she knew one or two ways to make a body disappear. Needless to say, no newsie was setting a foot in Queens any time soon. But when push came to shove, someone had to tell them about the strike. And Jack made an offer the boys couldn't refuse. 3 dollars to the brave soul willing to cross the East River. And those three dollars caused a whole other mess. I don't own anything but the story and some of the characters.
