(Completed) Manhattan newsie Spades Giovanni is one of the most observant (and VERY obnoxious) newsies there are, allowing her to see flaws in the system that the others can't. In this book, she realizes the hypocrisy, dictatorial nature, recklessness, and how centered around Jack, Davey, and Les the newsies union is.

This is the sequel to Our Side of the Strike, which follows Spades Giovanni in becoming Jack Kelley's right hand girl, living in a cover up relationship, and trying to lead the Manhattan newsies successfully our of a borough was.
