Blurb
Its 1854, and the Ballarat goldfields are a place of dreams and rebellion as Sam, a homeless teenager, is called back to the past to join the Puddlehams, who run the best little cook shop on the diggings. The Puddlehams dream of buying a hotel with velvet seats, while others dream of freedom from the government, with its corrupt officials and brutal soldiers.
As the summer days get hotter, and the miners'
protests are ignored with catastrophic results, Sam experiences at first-had the
power of a united stand, which will change her life forever.
I never really have read any of Jackie French books before. I have really enjoyed reading this book.
