Wonderful read! 9-year old son LOVES it!
So easy to read and so entertaining. I read it to my nine year old son and he found it so interesting. I haven’t seen him get this excited since Purcy Jackson! Ha! It’s packed full of great history and entertaining stories. Definitely a story of resilience and lots of great messages for kids. Love love love!!

Love this!!
These books are great for both kids and adults. Easy to understand and full of fascinating pieces of information. I worked at Macy's and really didn't know much of anything about Margaret. What an amazing life she lead. Glad her story could be told this way. Young kids need to know about these amazing women who had such an impact on our way of life.

Informative and inspiring!
This is a great story that should be told and known much more than it already is. Margaret Getchell is an inspiring figure in women's history, and Hidden Gems is the best way for young girls to learn about her. It's informative, accessible, and filled with useful information like a glossary to expand girls' vocabularies while they read. Really worthwhile for anyone with kids, especially if they're interested in business.

Educational and Inspiring!
Hidden Gems: Margaret Getchell LaForge is a must-read! The author thoughtfully crafts chapters with insight into Margaret's personal and professional life to help us get to know this "hidden gem." Macy's Department Store is undeniably one of the most recognizable name brands on the planet, and this behind-the-scenes story uncovers that Margaret Getchell LaForge is to thank for much of the company's success. Children and adults will learn valuable lessons of perseverance, leadership, and the grit and creativity required to inspire change and innovation. I love the glossary of business terms, the poems and excepts from Margaret's diary and the "Gem Time" interactive pages that invite kids to think up their own business ideas. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read the coming books!
