About This Item
Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Groundwood Books, 2000. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; stamp from school on title page - no other markings; spine straight and uncreased; minimal wear; Abandoned in a department store as a baby, 13-year-old Tom Mullen has no family - he has been shuffled from one rotten foster home to another his entire life. When he hears rumors that a mass grave has been unearthed on his school grounds, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to it. The grave pulls Tom down into its terrible darkness and beyond, where he discovers that he is no longer in Liverpool in 1974 but in Ireland in 1847, the height of the potato famine. A family named Monaghan takes him in, and for the first time Tom experiences what it is like to have parents and siblings who care for one another, even amid terrible hardship.
