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?

Bookseller Jessica thinks 'The Frozen River' by Ariel Lawhon should be your next read!
"When the Kennebec River freezes over during another brutal winter, Martha Ballard, a local midwife is called upon to identify a corpse trapped within, to determine a cause of death. However, the mystery deepens as Martha realises the dead man had recently been accused of rape by a local woman and Martha had acted as witness during the case.
Based on the diaries of Martha Ballard whose family has a historical link to the founder of The Red Cross, Clara Barton."
