About the book:
Everyone knows the history of the famous Heaton Main coal mine accident – but that’s never interested Archie. Why would he bother about the past when he’s got more than enough to worry about right now? Like his Granda’s health taking a turn for the worse. And the shifty Robson twins from across the street deciding they have it in for him.
With the help of his best-friends Adila and Kyle, Archie goes on a mission to raise money for his Granda’s recovery while also avoiding the Robsons at all costs. But when timelines collide during an unexpected storm, Archie is pulled more than two-hundred years into the past, and into an experience that will change his life forever. . .if he can make it back.
Perfect for ages 7+ and their families!
