More DescriptionWorking down the mine was Tim's worst nightmare but making friends with Jonnie and Evie made him think that maybe working down the deepest, mostdangerous pit in England wouldn't be half as bad as the dream he'd had last night. After all, if his brother and sister had done it for this long surely it couldn't be that bad?But Jonnie isn't who they think he is and when the children are forced to flee the mine, their village and families, the dark curse of Bankside Mine seems to follow them.Set in 1839, just before The Children's Act forbade children under 13 to work for 12 hours a day in the dark, the book tells the story of the children's first terrible day down the pit and the disaster that forces them to run for their lives.
