Description
Rivet Boy is a gripping historical adventure that tells the story of one boy's role in the building of Scotland's greatest man-made wonder, the Forth Bridge, in 1889.
When 12-year-old John Nicol takes a job at the construction site, he faces his fears and finds comfort in the new Carnegie library, his friend Cora, and his squirrel companion, Rusty. But when he is sent to work in the Rivet Gang, John must find the courage to climb, to face his fears, and to stand up to his evil boss.
Based on real people and events, this book blends fact and fiction to bring to life the story of a boy who played a crucial role in the construction of the iconic Forth Bridge.
