About this deal

As it turns out, Glow was a stellar read! Beautifully blending together historical accuracy and two girls's coming-of-ages, Glow was a book I easily devoured in one extra-long sitting.

When I was first asked to read and review Megan E. Bryant's Glow, I was instantly intrigued by the Radium Girls aspect. As a chemistry graduate student, I'm always interested in (1) anything that has do with science and (2) seeing how factory workers' conditions once were, especially regarding the case of radium. Glow is a gem of a book. Probably one of my top five of this year. So. Good. I'll be pushing it into readers hands for sure. (And not just the teen ones.) I have to thank the teen patron who recommended it to me, making me promise to read it. I'm so glad I did.

Because I don't know my own power . . . But that's been the problem all along, hasn't it?' I'm struggling with how to rate this book. On one hand, I enjoyed it and flew through it, even though I'd already read one of the books in the bibliography and knew exactly what was causing the mysterious illnesses at the factory from the very start. The story was compelling. A spectacularly written, engaging, imaginative retelling of the ancient myth of King Midas' 5***** Reader Review Rejuvenate your body with a Clarins body treatment.

Meanwhile, Lydia's chapters are told in letter format to her sweetheart Walter, away at war. She's a painter as well, and works to support the war effort at a watch-face painting factory (did you know there was such a thing? I didn't.) The girls there are glad for the job, but mysteriously, begin to fall ill, and it's not pretty what happens to them. Lydia begins to suspect that somehow, the glowing material they use for the watch paint is connected.This vitality-boosting, mood-enhancing treatment uses energising massage movements andoptimised pressure tosweep away stress andhelp rebalance body andmind. After, your skin will look radiant andyour body will feel recalibrated. Soldiers involved in trench warfare were especially in need of watches that could be seen in complete darkness. The harmful effects of radium were not yet known. Factories that produced the luminescent dials were set up Orange, New Jersey, Ottawa, Illinois, and Waterbury, Connecticut. These factories employed young girls and women to paint the numbers and hands with radium. Enter the radium girls. Glow is a young adult novel by Megan E. Bryant that sheds light on a dark time in American history. Julie (Jubilee) Chase, a high school graduate who was looking forward to attending College only to have it postponed due to her mother's debt issues. When the bank was about to foreclose on their mortgage, Julie cashed out her college fund to buy the house. She harbors resentment towards her mother for having to lose her college fund, putting her dreams on hold, while her mom seems to not be bothering to find a job. Julie's friend Lauren is from a well-to-do family and is off to college leaving Julie behind. This creates a rift between the two, bringing the worst out of the both of them. Attempting to salvage their friendship they head off for a fun day of shopping (Lauren's idea), and Julie buys a painting at Lost and Found consignment store. When darkness blankets Julie's room the painting reveals a glowing secret artwork that ignites her curiosity. She becomes obsessed with finding more paintings by the same artist, and attempts to re-create the technique. Julie has no idea that the technique involves the "radium girls" who unknowingly poisoned themselves while painting numbers on watch dials used to help soldiers see the time more accurately during WWI.
