"Superb, an eerie weaving of history and mythology, in the hollow, haunted world of not-so-long-ago." Hilary McKay
A tense and atmospheric story This gripping and heartfelt book confronts the reality of child labour during the Industrial Revolution, and weaves history and mythology together to great effect." Juno
"Packed with peril, immersive descriptions and atmospheric artwork that brings the historical period to life, this heart-racing story comes to a satisfying ending when the near-tragedy leads to a change in Georges landscape, and a seam of opportunity opens up in a future that appeared to be set in stone."
