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?

Crack the whip|| Newsies
Under editing I follow the storyline of the 2017 Broadway Musical. The strike is over and everything turns out the way they wanted... or not. Snyder managed to escape somehow and together with some familiar faces he's determined to bring down Jack at all costs. (I'm terrible at this... so sorry. If my English isn't really correct, I'm sorry but I'm dyslexic and English isn't my native language.) ⚠️Contains abuse and maybe more that I don't know yet. I ain't gonna warn you in each chapter, because it might take the surprise away.⚠️ This is the first story I really did finish, so I'm actually proud at myself. *Characters are not mine, but Disney's*Complete

She has flaws like the fact that no one knows her true identity. No one knows her past, no one knows why she was in the refuge all those years ago, and certainly no one knows who her father is and she intends to keep it that way. But when a female reporter by the name of Katherine Plummer, shows up following the story of the newsie strike, y/n's secret is on the verge of being shared to everyone, and to make matters worse, it seems Jack isn't the greatest boyfriend ever when he constantly seems to be pinning over Katherine and ditching y/n.
