Description

A gorgeous story of family love through generations – perfect for fans of Hannah Gold and Katya BalenA GORGEOUS STORY OF FAMILY LOVE THROUGH GENERATIONS Evan hates change, which is a big problem because the last few years have brought a lot of it. His family is split down the middle, and lately Grandad hasn’t been himself. But Evan can always depend on best friend Okie Dokie, his lovable dog.When a school trip takes Evan to an old mine where Grandad used to work, things go disastrously wrong. Grandad refuses to talk to Evan about the mine, and especially about the poor pit ponies that worked down there in the dark.But Evan is desperate to know more about Grandad’s past and if he can only find out what Grandad’s hiding, the weird gulf between them will surely disappear. Can Evan uncover Grandad’s secrets before they are lost forever?

Think Poetry isn't for you? Think again ๐Ÿ‘€

Most of us have grown up with poetry without even realising it, from nursery rhymes as kids to the lyrics we stream on repeat today.

Ever heard a song lyric that hit you right in the chest or made you feel completely understood? Thatโ€™s poetry.

Manchester-based publisher Carcanet has something for every reader, whether you love contemporary voices like Sophie Hannah or want to dive into classics like Danteโ€™s Inferno. Poetry might just surprise you.
